After filling the bottle, the top part is placed back on and sealed tightly with adhesive tape to prevent it from coming apart.

Why is black plastic used in the trap?

The black plastic is used to cover the trap, helping it to blend into the environment and maintain humidity, which attracts mosquitoes.

Where should the ovitrap be placed for maximum effectiveness?

The ovitrap should be placed in damp, mosquito-prone areas, typically in corners or spaces that are moist and have the potential to attract mosquitoes.

How long does the ovitrap remain effective?
