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

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

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.

Yes. The device is designed to operate continuously, 24 hours a day. It can also be programmed in 4-, 6- or 12-hour cycles to suit your needs. However, when the area is heavily infested with mosquitoes, especially if the device is installed during peak season, we recommend continuous operation to regulate the population effectively.

The HexaTrap has a capsule designed to hold a 10 g dose, which lasts approximately one month. This capsule can be installed:

• Under the flap located in the net, or
• Directly in the net.

The HexaTrap has a power rating of 5 W. In continuous 24-hour operation, it consumes approximately 0.12 kWh per day, or 3.6 kWh per month. As an indication, this represents a cost of about €0.72 per month (based on an average rate of €0.20/kWh). The device can also be programmed for 4-, 6- or 12-hour cycles, which reduces consumption. However, in the event of heavy infestation or if installation takes place during peak season, we recommend continuous operation for optimum effectiveness.

Yes. If the device is installed at the very start of the season, you can activate the programmed modes (4, 6 or 12 hours). However, for optimum results and to capture females quickly in order to prevent breeding, we recommend 24-hour operation. If the device is installed during peak season, it is strongly recommended that it is left running continuously.

We recommend positioning the HexaTrap between 6 and 12 metres from the area to be protected. Placing the device right next to you will not protect you; on the contrary. The aim is to attract mosquitoes before they reach your living area.

Ideal conditions:

• Install the device outdoors when the average temperature is above 15°C.
• Place it away from direct sunlight, strong winds and heavy rain.
• Choose a damp area near vegetation, where mosquitoes like to rest.
• Keep 50 cm of clear space above the trap for good air circulation.
• Keep a distance of 6 to 12 metres from the area to be protected to avoid attracting mosquitoes towards you.

Why this distance?
Placing the device right next to you will not protect you: it would attract mosquitoes to your position before they are captured. The aim is to intercept them before they reach your living area.

Best locations:

• Shaded, sheltered areas (leaves, hedges, bushes).
• Near damp areas (cellars, drains, dense vegetation).
• Avoid areas that are too windy, as this can reduce the effectiveness of the attractants.

Yes, the HexaTrap can be moved after installation. If results seem limited after a few days of operation, we invite you to try a new location to optimise effectiveness. To assess the device’s performance, do not rely solely on the number of mosquitoes in the net, as some may disintegrate. The best indicator is how you feel: if you can enjoy your outdoor space again without being bothered by mosquitoes, the device is doing its job.

The HexaTrap is designed to cover an area of up to 300 m². During installation, it is essential to ensure that no hedge, fence or change in level obstructs the diffusion of attractants, so as to ensure optimum effectiveness and cover the stated area.

Yes. Your device is designed to withstand splashing water (IPX4 protection rating), and its transformer is fully waterproof (IP68). However, in severe weather (heavy rain, thunderstorms or strong winds), we recommend bringing the device indoors to avoid any risk of damage.

Before any maintenance, switch off and unplug your HexaTrap. If the device is used frequently and the mosquito population is high:

• Clean the net once a week with water (do not use abrasive products).
• Remove leaves or other items that could obstruct airflow. Optimum airflow is essential for attractant diffusion and mosquito suction.

To prepare your HexaTrap for winter, follow these steps:

Complete cleaning — never use abrasive products:

• Use clean water and a microfibre cloth to clean the outside and inside of the device.
• Remove all insects, leaves and cobwebs.
• Dry the device thoroughly before storing it.
• Rinse the net with clean water.

Storage:

• Place the device in its original box and store it in a dry room.
• If you no longer have the box, put the device in a sealed rubbish bag to prevent insects from nesting in it during winter storage.

Yes, this is perfectly normal. The HexaTrap is not a powerful vacuum cleaner. Its relatively low suction is intentional, so that it targets only mosquitoes and limits the suction of larger insects.
Please be patient: captures gradually increase after a few days, then decline once the population is controlled.
The HexaTrap cannot eradicate 100% of mosquitoes in the area, but it delivers a significant and effective reduction.
Check regularly that no leaves, twigs or other items are blocking the airflow, as this could reduce the effectiveness of suction and attractant diffusion.
