Mosquito Week – a chance for everyone to make a contribution by introducing a comprehensive DIY mosquito control program that incorporates not only a proven trapping system like Mega-Catch’s™ to reduce mosquito numbers but other sensible control measures as well.

  • Eliminate standing water in low spots, ditches and similar areas
  • Empty receptacles that collect water (e.g. bird baths, pot plant saucers)
  • Reduce breeding sites by keeping grass mown and gutters free of debris
  • When outdoors wear light colored clothing which is less attractive to some mosquito species
  • Use insect repellents.  The most effective repellents according the CDC contain one of the following EPA registered active ingredients; DEET, Picaridin, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus.

Mega-Catch™ Promoting National Mosquito Control Awareness Week

The American Mosquito Control Association (AMCA) has declared June 20-26  this year’s ‘National Mosquito Control Awareness Week’.  Founded in 1935, the AMCA is a scientific/educational, not-for-profit public service association dedicated to preserving the public’s health and well-being through safe, environmentally sound mosquito control programs.

While not every kind of mosquito carries every kind of disease, a single bite from the right mosquito at the right time, and you’re infected.  At Mega-Catch™ we actively promote prevention as the best protection.  And in addition to giving tips and advice on source reduction; how to easily identify and eliminate mosquito breeding sites, we also encourage homeowners to use mosquito nets, screens, and insect repellents as well as mosquito traps.  While traps won’t permanently eliminate mosquitoes in the area, most experts agree on their use in conjunction with other traditional precautions, as a way to reduce nuisance mosquitoes and biting incidences.

Mosquitoes Captured by Mega-Catch™ Ultra

Jim Thompson who only bought his Mega-Catch™ Ultra trap at Canadian Tire in June this year, is the winner of our ‘Catch More Mosquitoes’ competition promoting the AMCA’s  2009 ‘National Mosquito Control Awareness Week’.

“Been using the Mega-Catch Ultra with both the attractant and CO2 options for almost 1 week and the catch has been unbelievable.” says Jim  “As you can see in the attached photo, the wet capture bowl was overwhelmed.  The water/juice mix was full and the bowl was actually overflowing with mosquitoes being drawn into the Ultra and blown down into the bowl and out the bottom of the machine because the bowl was full”.

A picture tells a thousand words!

“I think this Mega-Catch Ultra is amazing and it could possibly make a dent in the bugs, but I could really use a second machine I think and the prize would be great.”

The photo is definitely a ‘winner’. 

Congratulations Jim, your prize is on its way -  and may you catch many more mosquitoes with it.
