70 THE FLORIDA BUGGIST 
have given the best results. They should be rather narrow 
and deep. 
4. The success or failure of traps depends on the location. 
They should be placed in a well lighted room or porch, which 
is free from dark cupboards, closets, etc. The best position 
is determined by experiments. 
5. High winds affect the number caught, but temperature is 
the most important factor. The largest numbers caught were 
on warm still nights. 
6. Not all species are equally attracted to the traps. Culex 
quinquefasciatus is attracted more than Anopheles or 
Stegomyia. 
7. These traps are not recommended to rid a place of mos- 
quitoes, but if used with judgment they will reduce the num- 
ber present in the house or outside. Such traps are also useful 
for collecting mosquitoes for specimens, demonstration or 
class uses, or for testing repellants.
