Installation of Trap:
Your Mosquito Trap comes fully assembled. To install, first follow the instructions under Page 3
- Initial Set Up Instructions section.
The Initial Set Up Instructions assume that you have decided to install your Mega-Catch Mosquito
Trap on the Stand that is supplied with the Trap.
Alternatively you may decide to hang the Trap from a tree or a fixed post using a chain, nylon
rope or wire connected to the attachment hole at the top of the Trap. We recommen a height of
around 3 feet (1 meter) from the ground to the top of the Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap. However,
you may need to adjust the Traps height depending on the type of mosquitoes you are catching.
Your Mega-Catch Mosquito Trap is supplied with a 60-foot (18-meter) low-voltage extension
cord with weatherproof fittings. To avoid the cord posing a tripping hazard or being damaged,
(e.g. by a lawn mower) we recommend that, if possible, it be placed 2-3 inches (50-75 mm)
underground. This can be easily achieved by using a spade which is inserted into the ground and
moved backwards and forwards to create a shallow slit trench into which the cord can be pushed
before the ground is replaced by standing on the top of the slit trench.
