How far apart should I space My Mosquito Delter on my property?
The My Mosquito Deleter traps should be spaced so that they are no farther than 150 feet apart from each other. Ideally the four (4) units could be placed so that each trap is located on the four corners of a square pattern and that the distance between each unit on opposite corners of the square are less than or equal to 150 feet apart, or you can place the traps in areas where you will spend most of your time in, for example; three (3) traps in your back yard or all traps in your back yard, or all the traps in your front yard. It's totally up to you on where you think the best place is to place them.

What prevents the new mosquitoes from exiting up through the same holes that the eggs dropped down?
Once the eggs hatch they submerge themselves in water and start eating. Once they start eating the larvae needs oxygen to continue their life cycle so they head directly for light. The trap lid is black, the baffle ring is white, and the side walls are clear. This is the combination that creates a luring pathway for the larvae to follow up through the baffle ring where they are satisfied to stay with light and oxygen above the water line. There they hatch and are trapped with no way to return to bite you!
