Permethrin is safe for mammals. It would take over 40-50 containers of Biotraps for a small pet to feel sick. Oral toxicity study conducted with the containers demonstrated LD>5,000mg/Kg p.c

Biotraps are sprayed with permethrin inside the pot. Due to the hydrophobic nature of permethrin, there is very little insecticide in the water. The trap only works when the female mosquito lands inside the pot. Risk Assessment carried out for exposure to the container was evaluated by the regulatory body and demonstrated acceptable safety for contact and ingestion.

Biotraps can be left to biodegrade or collected and disposed of in your trash bin.

Biotraps have a hole near the top that prevents overfilling, and since the insecticide is coated on the inside of the trap, it will not diminish its effect. Biotraps have been tested in tropical areas, specifically during the rainy season, and still remain effective.

Biotraps are specifically designed to attract female mosquitoes.

The water in the Biotraps can be replenished until they leak, for up to a month.

Biotraps last for up to 4 weeks.

We recommend using Biotraps year round in warmer climates as a preventative measure and at least a couple of weeks before mosquito season.

10 per acre or 1 for every 400m-squared.

On your balcony or next to the windows - essentially points of ingress.

Most mosquitoes will get exposed to the mild insecticide, fly away and die soon after. You will notice a reduction in the mosquito population in the area within a few weeks.

Regular tap water is fine. Do not use heavily chlorinated water like that found in swimming pools as that will repel the mosquitoes.

Yes, you may as long as the top is fully exposed. However, keep an eye on the trap for when it starts leaking and needs to be replaced.

Yes! This would be a great way to avoid a puddle when the trap begins to leak.

We do not recommend this as the traps are engineered to naturally begin leaking as the insecticide wears off.
