Product Description
Features and Benefits
- Larvae hatching from mosquito eggs laid on the water in the trap become trapped under the lid, inside the bucket of the trap. •
- Any that do complete their development into adult mosquitoes remain trapped inside the bucket and will die within a few days without access to food.
- The booster tablet added to the water when the trap is set up is made from non-toxic, food-grade ingredients and provides the basic nutrients needed for the water to start to stagnate and become attractive to egg-laying mosquitoes.
Mosquito Larval Trap - FAQs
About the Mosquito Larval Trap
How does the EnviroSafe Mosquito Larval Trap work?
The EnviroSafe Mosquito Larval Trap is an innovative new trap design that catches the larval stage of the mosquito lifecycle, the wrigglers. Female mosquitoes are attracted to the stagnant water in the trap and lay their eggs on or near the surface. The wrigglers work their way down through the funnel in the lid into the bucket and are then gradually caught in an upper section of the trap where they are unable to escape. Each wriggler caught means fewer mosquitoes in your backyard!
How do I set up my Mosquito Larval Trap?
You may want to rinse out the trap bucket before starting to remove any manufacture odours. Place the booster tablet in the bucket and check that the bucket is set up correctly with the ascension ring, lid and handle in place as shown on the packaging. Fill the bucket with rainwater or tap water until it reaches the roughened section on the lid.
Where should I place the trap?
Place the trap in a sheltered, moist spot among plants and greenery. Female mosquitoes looking for a place to lay eggs are attracted to moist, humid environments where the water in which they lay their eggs will be unlikely to evaporate. Mosquitoes will also use vision to locate the trap, so make sure it is easy for them to see. Avoid placing the trap in open, sunny locations such as paved areas – while mozzies might visit your entertainment area to find someone to bite, they are unlikely to lay their eggs in this environment.
