Positioning the trap: when and where?
A detailed description of how to best position the traps can be found in the internet at:

The correct positioning of the Biogents Mosquitaire has a direct influence on the success of the catch rate.
The correct time to operate the trap:
The trap should be put out when the average temperature has risen over 15°C. At this time, mosquitoes become active and
begin mating. It is best to catch the mosquitoes now before they have a chance to reproduce and lay their eggs.
It is important to make sure that the BG-Mosquitaire runs 24 hours a day; otherwise, the mosquitoes will be able to fly out of
the trap.
The correct position:
To locate the most optimal area to place the BG-Mosquitaire trap, you must establish where the tiger mosquitoes are coming
from. The mosquitoes fly from the following two directions:
1. Breeding waters: Mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water. From there, the recently emerged mosquitoes begin se-
arching for their first prey. Possible breeding waters could be:
• Wet habitats and puddles (all that do not contain small fish)
• Rain barrels, rain gutters, or other water containers
• Flower pots, standing flower vases, plant saucers or similar containers
2. Resting places: Mosquitoes rest in foliage, e.g. hedges, and other shady, windless places with high humidity to prevent
water loss. From here, mosquitoes also begin their search for prey. Mosquitoes do not like places with intense direct sun
exposure or wind.
Important: Do not place the trap in tall grass or under bushes. All of the upper surfaces of the trap must be clearly visible to
the mosquito, so that its specialized appearance is effective in attracting mosquitoes.

The graphic on the left depicts a possible location for the
BG-Mosquitaire between mosquito breeding spots, mosqui-
to resting areas, and the house.
Please position the trap so that no one can trip over the po-
wer cord.
In conclusion: Place the trap upright on the ground in a po-
sition that is located close to breeding spots or their resting
zones and is windless, shady and roughly one meter from
other objects (e.g. bushes).
