Easy to use. As shown in the gallery above, the resting trap should be placed in a cool, shaded area to attract mosquitoes seeking a place to rest after a blood meal. When it’s time to collect the mosquitoes, place the entovate resting trap lid with its collection jar over the opening. Push the lid down to collapse the container, forcing the air and mosquitoes through the lid opening and into the jar. The built-in funnel prevents mosquitoes from escaping when the jar is removed. This simple process makes mosquito collection safe, efficient, and effective.
