Placing the Flowtron Galaxie Power-Vac 

Your Galaxie Power-Vac is site specific and placement is critical for successful results.  To properly locate your unit in your yard, read the accompanying booklet "The Fine Art of Trapping Mosquitoes" and follow it's guidelines regarding trap placement.

The Mosquito Power-Vac emits octenol-enhanced plume of air which mosquitoes and biting flies follow in their such for a blood meal.  Biting insects fly up-wind toward the source of the plume in the attempt to locate a host.  Since the direction of the plume is dependant upon the direction of the wind, your unit should be positioned so it faces downwind.

Female mosquitoes also feed on moisture laden nectar and fruit juices when not in search of a blood meal.  They are usually found in shade, around flowers, trees, bushes and other vegetation, and adjacent to standing water.

For best results locate your unit 20 to 40 feet away from areas of human activity in a location near (but not in) bushes, wooded areas, or adjacent to standing water (other than swimming pools).  Select a location which will result in the scented plume blowing toward the area where mosquitoes are likely to hid and emerge. A proper location will ensure that mosquitoes encounter the plume and follow it up-wind to the Power-Vac before they detect the presence of humans.
