Once the temperature reaches 50° F consistently, mosquito eggs that remained dormant during the winter will begin hatching. Female mosquitoes that have spent the summer in protected areas like basements and trees are now ready to come out and lay their eggs. Make sure that you're ready!

Read below for some Mosquito Magnet start-up tips.

1. Remove the trap cover or bag from the Mosquito Magnet®, and let the trap fully dry out before starting. If there is a lot of dampness, place the trap in the sun for a couple of days before starting.
2. Reattach regulator hose to tank.
3. Reattach the power adaptor (if applicable) or charge up battery for a full 24 hours prior to starting (if applicable). If you have the High Performance Charger, then it will take only 4 hours!
4. If your Mosquito Magnet is equipped with the new, Quick-Clear valve (for traps manufactured in 2003 or after), we recommend that this preventive maintenance be performed prior to starting. We recommend that you run 3 of the larger sized Maintenance Cartridges, in a row through your machine.
5. Turn the propane tank on, and proceed with the standard startup instructions. Be sure to start the season with a new net and new attractant cartridge.
