Trap placement tips:

• Light bulb and fan should hang 4-6 feet above the ground. This is a good height to catch mosquitoes searching for their next meal.

• Shaded areas under a tree or other shade helps protect samples from direct sunlight.

• Allow enough space for the trap to sway in the wind without hitting other objects.

• As much as possible, place trap 30+ feet from buildings, lights, and heat sources. We want to eliminate “competition” from heat and light sources that might also attract mosquitoes.

• If fireflies have a favorite spot to hang out in your yard, that may be a good spot for mosquitoes as well. Both insects like a humid and low-wind area that allows them to hover without being blown around by the wind too much.
