    Q Why is Ovi-Planter considered a preventative mosquito solution? answer now
    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:41 PM
    A Because it stops mosquitoes before they become biting adults, Ovi-Plante prevents future infestations rather than reacting to existing ones. This makes it ideal for season-long mosquito management.

    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:39 PM

    Q Will rain affect the performance of the Ovi-Planter trap? answer now
    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:37 PM

    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:34 PM

    Q How many Ovi-Planter traps should I use? answer now
    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:30 PM
    A For best results, multiple traps are recommended. A general guideline is: 1–2 traps for small yards 3–5 traps for average residential properties Additional traps for large yards or heavy mosquito pressure More traps increase interception of egg-laying females.
  20. Why does the Ovi-Planter trap take time to show results?
  21. 0 votes
    Q Why does the Ovi-Planter trap take time to show results? answer now
    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:29 PM
    A Ovi-Planter works by interrupting the mosquito life cycle, not by spraying adults. Because it targets egg-laying females, results appear gradually as fewer mosquitoes emerge over time. This is why reductions are usually noticeable after 1–4 weeks, not overnight.
  22. Does the Ovi-Planter mosquito trap kill adult mosquitoes?
  23. 0 votes
    Q Does the Ovi-Planter mosquito trap kill adult mosquitoes? answer now
    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:27 PM
    A No. Ovi-Plante does not kill adult mosquitoes on contact. Instead, it prevents future mosquitoes by stopping eggs from developing into adults. This makes it a population-reduction tool, not an instant knockdown solution.

    Q What type of mosquitoes does the Ovi-Planter trap target? answer now
    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:27 PM
    A The Ovi-Planter trap primarily targets egg-laying female mosquitoes, including common species such as Aedes, Culex, and Anopheles. These are the mosquitoes responsible for laying eggs and producing future generations.
  26. How long does the Ovi-Planter Mosquito Trap take to work?
  27. 0 votes
    Q How long does the Ovi-Planter Mosquito Trap take to work? answer now
    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:24 PM
    A The Ovi-Plante Mosquito Trap begins working within hours of placement, as egg-laying female mosquitoes are attracted to the trap almost immediately. Most users start noticing reduced mosquito pressure within 3–7 days, with more meaningful population suppression developing over 2–4 weeks as the trap interrupts the mosquito breeding cycle. Ovi-Plante is an oviposition trap, meaning it targets gravid (egg-laying) female mosquitoes rather than adult biters in flight. By attracting females to lay eggs in the trap—and preventing those eggs from becoming adults—the product reduces future generations of mosquitoes. Because it works at the breeding stage, results are progressive rather than instant, but they are longer-lasting and more sustainable over time. For best results, place multiple Ovi-Plante traps in shaded, sheltered areas near mosquito activity and allow them to remain undisturbed so the trap can continuously intercept egg-laying females.

  3. Fill the planter with water 1-2 inches below the drain slots. Add a small handful of locally sourced organic material like leaves, grass, hay…. The decomposing organic material will aid mosquito attraction.
  4. Once the lower planter is filled to the proper level and the organic material is added install Ovi-Planter upper bowl on to the lower planter and place in desired location.
  • Place trap in places of the property in an area cool, shaded, moist, and out of the wind. Aim to place the black strap in a contrasting environment.

    A Ovi-Planter is best used as a long-term control strategy, not a replacement for immediate relief products. For fastest results, combine Ovi-Plante with adult mosquito sprays, misting systems, or larvicides.

    A For best results, multiple traps are recommended. A general guideline is: 1–2 traps for small yards 3–5 traps for average residential properties Additional traps for large yards or heavy mosquito pressure More traps increase interception of egg-laying females.

    Q Why does the Ovi-Planter trap take time to show results? answer now
    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:29 PM
    A Ovi-Planter works by interrupting the mosquito life cycle, not by spraying adults. Because it targets egg-laying females, results appear gradually as fewer mosquitoes emerge over time. This is why reductions are usually noticeable after 1–4 weeks, not overnight.

    Q Does the Ovi-Planter mosquito trap kill adult mosquitoes? answer now
    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:27 PM
    A No. Ovi-Plante does not kill adult mosquitoes on contact. Instead, it prevents future mosquitoes by stopping eggs from developing into adults. This makes it a population-reduction tool, not an instant knockdown solution.

    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:27 PM
    A The Ovi-Planter trap primarily targets egg-laying female mosquitoes, including common species such as Aedes, Culex, and Anopheles. These are the mosquitoes responsible for laying eggs and producing future generations.

    Asked on December 18, 2025 2:24 PM
    A The Ovi-Plante Mosquito Trap begins working within hours of placement, as egg-laying female mosquitoes are attracted to the trap almost immediately. Most users start noticing reduced mosquito pressure within 3–7 days, with more meaningful population suppression developing over 2–4 weeks as the trap interrupts the mosquito breeding cycle. Ovi-Plante is an oviposition trap, meaning it targets gravid (egg-laying) female mosquitoes rather than adult biters in flight. By attracting females to lay eggs in the trap—and preventing those eggs from becoming adults—the product reduces future generations of mosquitoes. Because it works at the breeding stage, results are progressive rather than instant, but they are longer-lasting and more sustainable over time. For best results, place multiple Ovi-Plante traps in shaded, sheltered areas near mosquito activity and allow them to remain undisturbed so the trap can continuously intercept egg-laying females.
