• SpringStar - Biocare Non Toxic Trap-N-Kill Mosquito Refills - 3 Strip(s) SpringStar Biocare Non Toxic Trap-N-Kill Mosquito Refills can be used as part of an effective mosquito control program against mosquitoes that can carry diseases such as dengue, chikunya, West Nile virus, and yellow fever. This product contains refills for the Mosquito Trap-N-Killt that is a simple black container that mimics the breeding sites for the Aedes mosquito species, and kills females when they enter the trap to lay their eggs. It is easy to assemble, and can provide a low-cost, low-pesticide alternative to fogging practices. Similar lethal ovitrap technologies have been effectively used in Queensland, Australia and the Philippines as part of their dengue control programs. Mosquito Facts Female mosquitoes recognize this as a site to lay their eggs. Mosquitoes entering the trap will be killed or die shortly thereafter. Mosquitoes breed in standing water found outdoors in containers, pots, ers, gutters, tires, tree-holes, and low-laying areas regularly for best results. Traps should be placed in shaded areas out of reach of children and pets. Space traps 25 feet apart. Do not use on tables intended for serving food.Trap Maintenance Check water level weekly, fill to the bottom of the drain hole as necessary. Replace the pesticide tab and velour strip every 10 weeks. They recommend 4-6 traps per small lot and up to 30 traps per acre outside of inhabited buildings. Don't worry if you don't see dead mosquitoes in the trap. The mosquitoes die within minutes of exposure to the pesticide, and many die after they've left the trap. When replacing the pesticide tab and velour strip, check the velour strip for eggs. Mosquito eggs are black, oval shaped, and about the size of poppy . Not every trap may contain eggs or mosquitoes every time you check it. If you see larvae (wrigglers) moving, replace the pesticide tab. The trap is working as long as you have water in the trap, the velour strip is in place, and the pesticide tab is replaced at least every 10 weeks or sooner if live larvae (wrigglers) are seen. FAQ & Troubleshooting Does the trap work in the rain? Yes! TNK is designed to work in the rain. What if there's a drought? TNK works as long as there's enough water inside the jar, the velour strip is in place, and the pesticide tab is up-to-date. Check water levels weekly and refill the trap to the bottom of the drain hole as necessary. What if TNK is knocked over? If the pesticide tab is missing, replace it. Refill TNK with water, and use a new zip tie to attach the trap to a stable object like a fence post. What if the TNK cup or lid breaks? TNK won't work if it's empty, so replace traps if they no longer hold water. The TNK lid is designed to create a concentrated pesticide vapor cloud, so broken lids may not function properly. Replace traps if the lid breaks. How do I dispose of the trap and pesticide tab? If larvae is moving, add four or five drops of dish soap to kill them. Dispose of treated water either in a sink or toilet. To dispose of the trap and pesticide tab, wrap them up in newspaper and put in t or offer for recycling if available. About Spring Star They are dedicated to taking pesticides out of pest control. The founders of SpringStar, Michael and Jane Banfield have always been concerned about the environmental and problems caused by the overuse of harmful s and pesticides. They seek out ‘green’ and pesticide-free products whenever possible but found a lack of non-toxic alternatives when it came to pest control products. Mike and Jane decided to start their own company that would provide consumers with the pesticide-free alternatives that so many of us are looking for. In 1998 the Banfields started operating SpringStar out of their garage and since then the company has grown into one of the most innovative developers and basic manufacturers of non-toxic or low-toxic pest control products.
