Product Description
Please Note: Trap includes 1 lure. For additional lures please click here.
Mosquitoes transmit diseases such as Equine Encephalitis, West Nile Virus and other diseases. When they bite an animal or bird infected with a disease, they go to lay eggs and come back to bite again. It is this second bite that transmits diseases.
This trap uses a mosquito egg pheromone which mosquitoes use to mark special egg-laying places. When they enter the trap to lay their eggs, they can't escape and drown in the water. This prevents that second, and potentially diseased, bite. This non-toxic trap can be reused for years.
Past customers recommend these tips:
- Traps placed early in the year will produce lower summer mosquito populations
- Use at least 2 to 4 traps per average yard, and 4 to 16 traps per acre, depending on the closeness of swampy areas, mosquito intensity and temperatures
- Replace Pheromone lure every 4 to 6 weeks, and use gloves when handling it
- Rinse traps, but do not wash traps with soap as accumulated attractants will be washed away
- use old or standing water from around your yard; mosquitos don't like to lay eggs in purified tap water
- Keep some of the water each time you empty it and you won't have to replace the lure for at least a few empties
- put the trap in the shade, in an area where there's little or no breeze
- you may need to wait a few weeks before the trap starts to function if you're using purified tap water (after all, mosquitoes prefer swamp water)

Questions about the Non-Toxic Pheromone Mosquito Trap

- How many square feet should each one cover? Does this decrease within the 4-6 week period? Thanks
- There is no specific square footage recommended, as mosquito density varies from area to area.
The manufacturer recommends that you use at least 2 to 4 traps per average yard, and 4 to 16 traps per acre, depending on the closeness of swampy areas, mosquito intensity and temperatures.
It actually can take a week or two before the lure really starts to pull the mosquitoes in, so I would say the effectiveness would increase and not decrease. It's also been noted by customers that using old rainwater from around your yard is better than using purified tap water if possible, and that the traps work best in areas with little to no breeze. Customers have also noted that you don't need to use the entire lure to see good results. - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

- Do I understand correctly that the pheromone mosquito kit will fill several lures? How many will it fill? I'm ordering 8 additional lures, will it fill all of these?
- The trap uses one lure at a time. Each lure will last 4-6 weeks. At the end of this period, just add another lure.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
