Please note the following points for the installation:
• Horse ies appear mainly in the vicinity of water bodies (lakes, rivers,
ponds, water pools, marshes, etc.).
• Before setting up the trap, you should try to locate the ight path of the
horse ies.
• Once you have located the ight path, you should try to install the trap
close to it.
• Depending on the trapping quota, the capture container must be
emptied daily or weekly.
• Install the y trap on time because the female horse ies are active from
April. This is the only way to achieve ideal, y-free conditions.
• Fill the water tank with a few drops of detergent. This causes the surface
tension of the water to decrease so that the tension is no longer suci-
ent to carry the insects. This causes the y to drown faster.
Installation
It would be an advantage if a second person was available to help with the
installation.
Preparation
1. Pump the ball with the supplied air pump until it has a diameter of
approx. Ø 60 cm. Then close the ball with the plug.
Tip: Please do not inate the ball to its maximum as the hot air expands
and the ball could tear.
2. Attach the ball to the squarish part of the ball hook (7).
3. The reinforcement tubes (9) are used to keep the cover tensioned. For
this purpose, you slide the tube pieces into the opening on the inside of
the cover. Push the tube pieces together one after another.
Tip: We recommend doing this step in pairs. One holds the cover whilst
the other pushes in the tube. In order to make inserting the tube easier
you can grease the pipe a little beforehand.
4. Attach the tarp cover to the mount using the Velcro straps.
5. Hang the ball hook with the ball onto the bracket provided for this purpose.
6. Fill the capture container (5) with water and place it in the holder.
7. Use the lanyard to hang your horse y trap at your desired position
The horse y trap is now ready for use.
