STEP
1:
Determine
where the mosquitos are breeding. The Mosquito
Magnet must be located between the breeding areas
(standing water, bushes) and the 'people areas'
(patio, deck) in order to capture the mosquitoes
at their source, BEFORE they get to you.
STEP 2:
Place
the trap 30-40 feet away from people areas. Place
the trap as close to the breeding area and as
far away from the activity as possible. 30-40
feet is enough distance from the activity so the
biting insects will be attracted to the trap and
not to you.
STEP
3:
Place
the trap upwind from the mosquito breeding area.
Mosquitoes
fly upwind looking for a blood meal (you). After
a female mosquito bites a human, its weight is
doubled; the mosquito will float back downwind
to the resting area.
STEP
4:
Place
the trap in an open area, not in high grass or
plants. CO2
is heavier than air, therefore it stays close
to the ground. The mosquitoes will follow the
CO2 plume to the trap. If its placed in high grass
the flow of the plume will be impeded and the
mosquitoes won't find it...they'll find you!
STEP
5:
Place
the trap in the shade. Mosquitoes
don't like the heat of the direct sun. As the
sun sets, mosquitoes come out of their resting
places.
