Resting Trap
Gravid Trap
Resting Trap
Following a blood meal, female mosquitoes find dark places to rest. The large pop-up containers serve as such a resting place. When it is time to collect the mosquitoes, the trap is set upright; the lid with the collection jar is placed on the container's opening. It is then pushed downward, expelling the air through the collection jar. The mosquitoes are forced out with the air and captured in the jar.
Gravid Trap
Setup
Use the 8 M3 nylon screws to attach the four legs to the main trap body. You can do this using a coin as a screwdriver or just by hand. Add oak-infused water to a depth of several inches. The water will evaporate, so add enough to last for the time between collections and/or maintenance. Mount he collection jar be sliding the jar onto the tube and lock in place with at least a quarter turn.
Rain
Be aware that if it rains, the pan will fill with rain water. This should not be a problem since excess water will naturally flow over the lip of the pan and the legs provide enough clearanceif to maintain a space between the water and the funnel opening..

Will the novel funnel traps catch mosquitoes?
One night's collection
Collection will vary according to many factors such as bait (Light, oak-infused water, Sweet Sent, CO2, etc), location, season, weather and numerous other factors. The picture at the right was a very good night in the everglades using CO2 as the bait. Our traps have been very successful in numerous locations in Florida, South Carolina, Salt Lake City, and in multiple cities in India.
