CHOOSING A LOCATION
When selecting a location, you want to remember the insects will be lured to the unit
so do not put the unit near human activity. Choose a location about 25 feet away from
the area you are trying to protect. If there is a water source nearby, place the unit
between you and the water because water is often a breeding ground for flying insect
pests. Depending on the model number, the unit is designed to cover areas up to 1/2
acre (UV15 Series), 1 acre (UV40/UVB45 Series), and 1 1/2 acre (UV801 Series).

INSTALLING THE NOSQUITO MOSQUITO OCTENOL LURE
You will find a Nosquito
®
octenol lure (NS16) included with most Stinger
mosquitoes and biting flies. This lure has slow release properties and increases the effectiveness of luring mosquitoes to the unit. For best results, replace
every 30 days.
1. Open lure by peeling off the foil lid.
2. Models UV15 Series, UV40 Series and UVB45 Series have a specially designed holder built into the base. Simply push the lure into this holder. The lure
should fit snugly and the tension tabs should hold it tightly in place. (Fig. 3)
3. To remove – spread the tension tabs with your fingers, pull out the lure and discard appropriately in a trash receptacle.
CHANGING BULBS
Only use Stinger
replacement bulbs. White UV or Black UV are available.These bulbs should be replaced annually to maintain optimal UV effectiveness. Even
®
though the bulb' s light may be visible to you, its ability to attract insects diminishes over time. If the bulb fails to light or the color of the light changes to yellow or
orange it is time to replace
the bulb. (Fig. 4)
1. Unplug and remove entire unit from hanging position.
2. Turn unit upside down, open the bulb cap and remove old bulb.
3. Insert the new bulb making sure it is properly seated in the socket.
4. Close the bulb cap by snapping it into place.
5. Place unit back into the hanging position and plug back into the outlet.
Note: If unit fails to light after replacing bulb, take unit down and remove the bulb and reseat it in the socket.
CLEANING
As the unit kills insects, most of the insect remains will be vaporized or fall down through the unit. Some remains may be left on the grids and over time may
reduce the effectiveness of this device. Make sure to regularly clean your unit to achieve maximum effectiveness. The time in between each cleaning will vary
depending on your insect populations. Check your unit frequently and clean any insect remains you see.
1. Unplug and remove entire unit from hanging position.
2. Remove bulb from unit to avoid damage (see above instructions).
3. Using a small brush or stick, gently remove any insect remains from outer casing and inner grids.
4. If available, you may use compressed air to clean out your unit.
5. Never use water to clean your unit, water could damage the electrical components.
6. Be very careful not to move the grids from the seatings.
7. Once the unit is clean, replace the bulbs, return the unit to the hanging position and reconnect to power source.
Note: If arcing occurs after cleaning, unplug unit and remove from hanging position. Check the grids and make sure they are not touching in any place. Gently
use a stick to bend grids away from each other.

Solution:
- Make sure unit is plugged into working outlet.
- Check bulb to make sure it is seated properly.
- Replace bulb if necessary.
- Check surrounding area for sitting water, insects breed in these areas and should be eliminated from the source.
- Allow more time; it will take some time for the insects to find the unit and also for there to be an impact on their reproductive cycles.
- Try moving the unit to another area of the yard. If you are in between the unit and the source of the insects, they will have to fly by you to get
to the unit and you may actually notice an increase in insects.
- Clean unit per the instructions in the "Cleaning" section of this manual.
