Important Message

Your Mega-Catch™ Mosquito Trap is designed to reduce local mosquito populations, to the point
that breeding cycles are interrupted, but it will not permanently eliminate them. Operate the Mega­Catch™ Mosquito Trap daily for 6-8 weeks. Over this time you should notice a decline in mosquito
numbers. This means your Trap is doing its job.

Your Mega-Catch™ Mosquito Trap should be used in conjunction with other sensible control measures
designed to manage mosquito problems:

• Eliminate standing water in low spots, ditches, gutters and similar areas

• Empty receptacles that collect water (e.g. bird baths and pot plant saucers)

• Reduce breeding sites by keeping grass mown

• Mosquito netting/screens can be used to provide mosquito-free areas

• Light coloured clothing is less attractive to some mosquito species and if tightly woven, can
give some protection against biting

• DEET is considered the most effective mosquito repellent, but should not be used too heavily

Trap Siting

The Mega-Catch™ ALPHA Mosquito Trap can be used
indoors or outdoors.

Place your ALPHA Trap on a flat surface approximately
2 to 3 feet (0.75 - 1metre) above floor or ground level.

Alternatively, install a metal ring (keyring loop) through
the hole on the lid, and hang or suspend the trap so
it is approximately 2 to 3 feet (0.75 - 1metre) above
floor or ground level.

Place the trap in a shaded area, protected from strong
wind. Place the trap as far away from people and as
close to the mosquito source as possible.

If severe weather conditions are predicted then store the Trap out of the weather.

Features of Mega-Catch™ ALPHA Mosquito Trap

The Mega-Catch™ ALPHA Mosquito Trap has been designed for indoor or outdoor use (NOTE: when
operating the ALPHA Trap indoors, remove the Mega-Catch Octenol Fragrance Strip).

The ALPHA can operate unattended for long periods. It features an electronically controlled LED
lighting system that produces intermittent light at oscillating frequencies selected to coincide with
spectral sensitivity peaks for many mosquito species.

Mosquitoes attracted to the ALPHA by visual and other cues enter the Trap where they are collected
in the Catch Bag.
