Stinger CT100 - Manual (Page 6)

The placement of the Stinger ® Mosquito Vacuum is critical to
catching mosquitoes. The largest amount of mosquitoes will
be captured by positioning the Mosquito Vacuum 30 to 40
feet away from the location you want to protect. The
Mosquito Vacuum should be placed in the normal down-wind
direction towards were mosquitoes live and breed (Figure 8).
Breeding areas may include standing water, marshy wetlands,
bushes and shady wooded areas. Mosquitoes will be lured to
the Mosquito Vacuum and be captured, before coming into
contact with you and your family.
1. Determine a suitable place with level ground,
approximately 30-40 feet away from the area you want to
protect.
2. Position at least 5 feet from foliage (bushes, flowerbeds,
tree line, marshbed, etc.)
3. It is recommended the Mosquito Vacuum be place in the
shade, mosquitoes avoid sunlight.
4. Do not place the Mosquito Vacuum directly above a water
source (sprinklers, hoses, etc.)
5. Make sure AC extension cord (if used) or low voltage
extension cord (provided with unit) are placed in such a
manner that they are away from any human or animal
activity and cannot be run over with a lawn mower or
other such outdoor equipment.
