The suction on my device is weak. Is this normal?
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.

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.
