Frequently Asked Questions
1. How soon should my Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap begin to control mosquitoes?
The Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap will begin to catch immediately there is mosquito activity in the
area. Female mosquitoes looking for blood will be drawn to the Trap and destroyed. The Trap will
gradually reduce your mosquito population as it attracts and destroys them. It may take 6-8
weeks of use to reduce the mosquito population to the point that you have successfully interrupted
the breeding cycle.
2. How often do I need to operate my Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap?
Before using your Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap note the time of day when mosquito activity is
greatest. If, for example, this is in the morning and the evening, then you should set the Trap
(using the Programmable Timer) to operate at these times. Where your mosquito problem involves
night time biters, we recommend operation of the Trap between 7pm and 11pm and 4am and
8am. If mosquito activity is all day, then you may need to operate the Trap 24 hours per day until
the mosquito population declines.
3. Is the Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap harmful to me or my pets?
No. The Mega-Catch PREMIER Mosquito Trap can be used indoor or outside around humans
and pets provided it is operated in accordance with the instructions in this operation manual.
Ensure you read the Important Safety Instructions at the start of this operation manual.
4. How many traps should I buy for around my house?
This depends on the size of your property. Generally we recommend one or two Traps depending
on the number and location of mosquito breeding areas on your property. A Mega-Catch
Mosquito Trap can, in favorable weather conditions, attract mosquitoes from up to 150 feet away.
5. Will Mega-Catch Mosquito Traps catch biting flies?
The Mega-Catch PREMIER Mosquito Trap will catch sandflies, black flies and biting midges (no-
see-ums) and some other biting insects.
6. Can I stop my Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap from catching moths?
The Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap incorporates a low-intensity U.V. Bulb that emits light at a
frequency that our research has shown to attract certain mosquito species. Unfortunately it can
also attract small quantities of non-target species like moths. If this is a problem, the Fluorescent
U.V. Bulb can be removed (refer to Page 17 - Maintenance and Repair of Your Trap section).
