To guarantee that your mosquito trap has optimum effectiveness, a few basic rules must be followed.
The Qista mosquito solution is based on 3 steps:
The first 2 steps require consumables (CO₂ and olfactory lure) that need to be replaced every month.If either of the consumables are missing, the mosquito trap becomes ineffective. The mosquitoes will return to the protected area and very quickly start to reproduce.
To give you an idea of the speed of the infestation: 1 female mosquito lays up to 200 eggs every 48 hours.
The olfactory lure lasts for 30 days. Once this period has passed, its power is limited and its effectiveness drops very quickly, it therefore becomes ineffective.
The CO₂ cartridge has a variable duration depending on the intensity of the trap use:
We also strongly recommend replacing the filtre CO2 every year.
When your trap or your machines were installed, Qista experts carried out a set-up assessment and provided you with certainrecommendations related to the specificities of the area to be protected. In particular the use calendar, the daily operating times and the type of lure to use.
These recommendations should be followed without fail, as well as the location recommended by Qista following this assessment to ensure the effectiveness of every Qista mosquito trap.
In addition to the mosquito trap’s inherent effectiveness, you can optimise the mosquito control by applying a few prevention rules to prevent females from layingin areas neighbouring the protected area.
The presence of stagnant water is the most favourable condition for females to lay. Even the smallest puddle becomes a haven for the breeding and growth of eggs. Here are some precautions to take:
