  If the capture rate of your Biogents Insect Control Equipment was initially high but is now decreasing, and mosquitoes are bothering you again, there could be several reasons. First, the pores of the trap might be clogged with dust, in which case you should clean the trap. Second, if the odor attractant bag has been open for more than two months, replace it with a new one. Finally, if the fan is no longer working, it's time to replace the trap.

  If you are still bothered by mosquitoes despite high catch results from your Biogents Insect Control Equipment, it is likely that the mosquito population in your area is very high. To address this, consider placing another trap in your house to increase the capture rate and reduce the number of mosquitoes.
