Installing and Siting the Mega-Catch™ Mosquito Trap

Installation of Trap:

Your Mosquito Trap comes fully assembled. To install, first follow the instructions on 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.
