• Unit appears to be working properly but insect populations do not seem reduced
  1. Check surrounding area for sitting water, insects breed in these areas and should be eliminated from the source.
  2. Allow more time; it will take some time for the insects to find the unit and also for there to be an impact on their reproductive cycles.
  3. Try moving the unit to another area of the yard. If you are in between the unit and the source of the insects, they will have to fly by you to get to the unit and you may actually notice an increase in insects.
