Maintenance And Care - Biogents BG-Mosquitaire Manual De Instrucciones

Monitoring the Catch Results
Check the catch bag and obtain the catch results after three
days of running the trap. You need to extend the period bet-
ween checks if it has frequently rained. Reason is that mos-
quitoes do not fly during rain. Also extend it in spring or fall
when the average temperature is below 68° F / 20° C.
Evaluating the catch results: Place the properly removed

Maintenance and Care

When working with the BG-Mosquitaire trap and also when
monitoring the catch results, household gloves should be
worn, and the catch bag should be properly removed. This is
to ensure the captured mosquitoes that are still alive cannot
escape and cannot bite you through the net.
Use a damp cloth to clean the plastic part of the trap. Do not
use any cleaning agents, solvents, or insecticides, because
Changing the Catch Bag
The catch bag, along with the caught mosquitoes, should be
emptied when it is halfway full. At a minimum the catch bag
should be changed when the BG-Sweetscent attractant is re-
placed. It is important to change the catch bag, because it
can become clogged with dust over time and decrease the
catch rate of the BG-Mosquitaire.
1. Pull the black suction funnel (1) with the catch bag half-
way out of the trap.
2. Pull the catch bag off (3) of the black intake funnel and
simultaneously pull the cord shut to close the catch bag
[F12].
3. You can now empty the catch bag or evaluate what you
caught.
4. Remove the funnel net (2) from the black suction fun-
nel and rinse with warm water to remove the dust. Af-
ter emptying the catch bag, it can also be cleaned with
warm water.
5. Replace the funnel net and catch bag onto the suction
funnel and place it back into the trap [F4-5].

catch bag in a freezer bag and store it in a freezer for 2-3
hours to kill the mosquitoes, or simply leave them out in the
sun to dehydrate. You can then empty out the contents of the
catch bag and count the captured mosquitoes. It is recom-
mended to check the catch success of the trap to make any
necessary changes of the trap location.
the residues from these products can have a repelling effect
on mosquitoes and consequently reduce the catch rate of
the trap. Do not use any pointed or rough objects to clean
the trap. Only use recommended accessories and parts from
the manufacturer. The use of foreign parts can significant-
ly reduce the catch rate of the BG-Mosquitaire trap or even
render it ineffective.
