HexaTrap
How are mosquitoes attracted into the device?

Thanks to its Master Trap refill, the device is designed to attract mosquitoes by mimicking human body odour.


Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 0 / 0

Where do mosquitoes go after they have been captured?

Once captured by the action of the fan, mosquitoes remain in the trap basket. They quickly die and generally dehydrate within 24 hours.


Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 0 / 0

How long does it take to see results with the device?

The first results will be visible within 3 to 4 days. Do not rely solely on the number in the net, as some mosquitoes disintegrate. The best indicator is how you feel when enjoying your outdoor space.

HexaTrap CO₂ Capture
What is the exact difference between the standard Hexatrap and the CO₂ Capture model?

The standard Hexatrap uses an olfactory attractant gel to mimic human body odour. The Hexatrap CO₂ Capture also diffuses CO₂, which simulates human breathing and provides increased attraction over a larger area. The CO₂ Capture model is therefore designed for larger or more heavily infested outdoor areas.


Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 1 / 3

Where do mosquitoes go once they have been sucked in?

Attracted by CO₂ and the scent lure, mosquitoes approach the trap and are sucked in by the silent fan. They are propelled into the capture net located in the lower tray. Trapped by the continuous airflow, they naturally die from dehydration within 24 hours.


Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 1 / 0

How long do I need to wait to see results?

The Hexatrap CO₂ acts very quickly to attract active mosquitoes, but the real decline in the local population takes 4 to 7 days. Do not rely solely on mosquitoes visible in the net (many disintegrate into dust). The only true indicator is fewer bites when you are on your terrace.

HexaCatch
What is the difference between Hexatrap and Hexacatch?

Hexatrap captures mosquitoes looking for blood to bite.
Hexacatch works afterwards: it specifically targets female mosquitoes that have already bitten and are looking for stagnant water in which to lay their eggs.
This tackles the problem at its source.


Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 0 / 0

Why do you say that one capture means 1,000 fewer mosquitoes?

A female tiger mosquito lives for around two months and can lay up to five batches of 150 eggs. By capturing just one gravid female before she lays eggs in your garden, you prevent the birth of 750 to 1,000 new mosquitoes.


Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 0 / 0

Does Hexacatch need electricity or CO₂?

No. It is a 100% passive, self-contained trap. It uses no electricity, fan or gas. It simply uses mosquitoes’ natural attraction to water and a mechanical capture system with an adhesive surface.

HexaSafe
Is HexaSafe designed for outdoor use?

No. HexaSafe was specifically designed to protect the inside of your home (bedrooms, living rooms and conservatories). It is compact and attractive, but would not withstand garden weather conditions.


Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 0 / 0

What area does it protect?

One device perfectly covers a living space of approximately 30 m². For peaceful sleep, the rule is to install one trap in each enclosed room you wish to protect (one bedroom = one trap).


Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 0 / 0

Is the device noisy at night?

Designed for indoor use, its fan has been optimised to be extremely discreet. It produces a light continuous airflow (similar to the white noise of a laptop), which does not disturb sleep.

Attractant gel
How often should I replace the attractant gel refill?

The syringe contains 30 g of attractant gel, i.e. 10 g per month.
This means that one syringe provides 3 months of use under normal conditions. Replace the refill every month, using the 10 g dose, to maintain optimum attractiveness. Store refills in a dry place away from heat.


Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 1 / 0

Is attractant gel effective against tiger mosquitoes and common mosquitoes?

Our attractant gel syringe, developed in France, is specifically designed to target:

  • Common mosquitoes (genus Culex).
  • Tiger mosquitoes (genus Aedes). Each syringe contains 30 g, i.e. 10 g per month, which corresponds to 3 months of effectiveness. To maintain optimum attractiveness, replace the refill each month using the recommended dose.

Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 1 / 0

Does the attractant gel refill have an expiry date?

Yes. To guarantee optimum effectiveness of its active ingredients, attractant gel has a shelf life of 2 years from its manufacturing date. You will find the use-by date printed directly on the packaging. You can order several refills in advance for the season. We advise storing new syringes indoors, in a dry place away from high temperatures.

  • In 6 h/day mode: approximately 30 days (allow 3 to 4 cylinders for a full summer season).
  • In 12 h/day mode: approximately 14 days.
  • In 24 h/day continuous mode: approximately 7 days.

Adhesive sheets
How often should I replace the HexaCatch adhesive sheet?

Replace the adhesive sheet regularly. Check it at least once a month and replace it sooner if it is saturated with insects, dust or pollen, or if its adhesive surface has dried out.


Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 0 / 4

Is the adhesive toxic?

No. It is made of mineral oil and polymers and contains no insecticide. Please note, however, that it can be very sticky on fingers. In case of contact, wash your hands with soap or a fatty substance (oil) to dissolve the glue.


Are you satisfied with this article? Usefulness of the article: 0 / 0

What is the purpose of the adhesive sheet?

It is at the heart of the HexaCatch trap. It lines the inside of the device and mechanically captures female mosquitoes that land on it to lay their eggs. Once stuck, they cannot leave. It is a 100% environmentally friendly trapping method, with no electricity and no insecticide.
