This novel monitoring trap for mosquitoes was developed by BioGents GmbH (Germany) utilizing patent pending technology. The trap consists of an easy-to-transport, collapsible white cylinder with white mesh covering the top. In the middle of the mesh cover is a black tube through which a down flow is created by a 12V DC fan that causes mosquitoes in the vicinity of the opening to be sucked into a catch bag. The catch bag is located above the suction fan to avoid damage to specimens passing through the fan. The air then exits the trap through the mesh top. This design generates ascending current similar to that produced by a human host, both in its direction, geometrical structure, and chemical composition of the attractants. Attractants are given off by the BG-Lure®, a mesh dispenser that releases a combination of non-toxic substances found on human skin (lactic acid, ammonia, and fatty acids). The lure releases the long-lasting attractant for up to five months. An Octenol lure, active for two months, is also provided. Originally developed to attract the yellow fever or dengue mosquito Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti, laboratory and field tests show that the trap is also attractive for a range of other anthropophagic mosquitoes. Trials have also demonstrated good catch rates for the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus, A. polynesiensis), southern and northern house mosquitoes (Culex quinquefasciatus, C. pipiens), and malaria mosquitoes (Anopheles species). Carbon dioxide is not required to catch Aedes aegypti, A. polynesiensis, or A. albopictus, but it can be added as an attractant for other species. The trap features a unique pop-up design. No tools are required for assembly. A BG-Lure® and an Octanol lure are included, along with two catch bags and a two-handled green nylon ripstock carrying case. A power source of 7.5 - 12V DC is required (trap draws 300 mA) . Dimensions: collapsed - diameter 35 cm, height 10 cm; assembled - diameter 35 cm, height ~40 cm. Weight: 1.5 kg (3.4 lbs.). A useful accessory to this trap is the #2823 CO² gas regulator kit designed for use in areas where dry ice cannot be obtained or is not desired.

Black Light EVS Trap This vector control product is a modified version of BioQuip’s2801A EVS trap for collecting mosquitoes and biting midges (sandflies) attracted to black light. It uses a 4-watt UV blacklight powered by 4 “D” cell batteries located under the dry ice container and secured with a Velcro strap. Includes separate switches for the light and fan. For transport or storage, the blacklight tube is removed, and the light sockets are pivoted so that the trap head fits in the CO2 container. During testing, this trap ran for more than 36 hours before showing signs of decreased battery strength. If desired, a 4-watt BLB tube may be substituted for the BL tube. See catalog page 38 for complete description of 2801A EVS trap. An improved collecting cup is made from no-see-um nylon mesh and ripstop nylon skirt. It utilizes a vented 16-ounce polypropylene jar with modified lid. The vent allows water to drain from the jar and prevents build up of CO2 emitted from the trap. The bag is inserted through the lid that is screwed onto the jar. An elastic cord keeps the bag firmly attached to the trap collar. Before removal, the bag can be closed with a draw string and cord lock. After removal, the bag can be refriger- ated to stun specimens before transfer to cages or containers. The bag will not fit completely into the trap’s gallon can due to its larger size. 2801BL Black light EVS trap 145.95 2801B No-see-um mesh collecting bag 14.05 2827D 4 watt BLB tube 11.25 2802H “D” cell battery (four required) 1.50

InsectaZooka Field Aspirator The InsectaZooka is a lightweight, compact and portable field aspirator. It is a far superior alternative to heavier and bulkier backpack model aspirators. Suction levels generated by the aspirator can be varied from slight to very strong. The InsectaZooka is intended primarily for field use in vector control and agriculture, but can be used for many other applications. This aspirator operates on 12 VDC. It features a brushless motor that delivers variable motor speeds, allowing for very high suction levels when needed. It also has a built-in motor speed control adjustment knob that allows for choice of suction levels. When the motor is at maximum RPM, amperage use is as high as 12 amps. The high amperage value may be of concern to some users, but in actual use, only 2 to 6 amps are required to achieve good suction. Electrical consumption rates are available on BioQuip’s website under the product number 2888A. Spade connectors are provided for connection to battery. A male cigarette plug adapter is also provided for connection directly into a female battery plug. The InsectaZooka weighs only 2.7 lbs. (1.22 kg). BioQuip recommends using the 2861 12 volt, 14 amp/hour battery pack with charger and case, 11 lbs. (5 kg), or 2861A 12 volt 14 amp/hour replacement battery. Total system weight is no more than 14 lbs. (6.22 kg). The InsectaZooka has an overall length of 47” (119.4 cm) when fully assembled. It breaks down easily into three sections. The drive unit is 13.5” (34.3 cm) long. Pick up tubes are 16.5” (41.9 cm) long. The aspirator diameter is 3” (7.62 cm). Two bungee cords are used to secure the tubing sections to each other and to the drive unit. The pick up tube can be removed and placed on the exhaust port to create a blower. Clear polypropylene collection cups have 20 x 20 mesh aluminum screen thermally imbedded in the bottom of the cups. Five cups with lids are provided; additional sets of 10 cups are available in two mesh sizes. An adjustable shoulder strap with snap hook is provided to suspend or hold the aspirator at the hip while working. For safety, 1/4” mesh screen covers intake and exhaust ports. A heavy duty canvas bag is provided for easy transport and storage of the aspirator. 2888A InsectaZooka Field Aspirator 359.00 2888CA Collecting Cups, 20 x 20 mesh aluminum, 10 per set 46.20 2888CB Collecting Cups, 30 x 30 mesh aluminum, 10 per set 47.55

BioQuip’s test results indicate that a smaller quantity of dry ice lasts longer using this well-insulated pail than a larger quantity placed in the standard model. (See EVS CO2 trap description on catalog page 38.) Savings in dry ice costs offset the cost of the bucket. The inside lining of the CO2 container has eight ounces of molded, expanded polyurethane foam. Bucket comes with handle, hanger chain, foam plug and lid, and “D” ring for hanging the EVS trap. Four holes drilled in the bottom of the bucket allow CO2 gas to escape. Additional holes can be drilled easily if desired. Size: 7-3/4" high x 6-1/2" diameter (20 x 16.5 cm). Note: 2801A trap body does not fit inside this bucket due to thickness of the liner. 2801D Insulated dry ice bucket each 31.05; 12 or more 29.50 each Mosquito Attractant, “Octanol” The mosquito attractant “Octanol” is reported to have pheromone-like properties. It is used by vector control professionals and researchers to enhance the effectiveness of such mosquito traps as the EVS, CDC, New Jersey, and gravid traps described on catalog pages 38 and 39. A small amount of the chemical applied to a "wick" placed near the intake of the trap brings in mosquitoes that may not have been attracted otherwise to the trap area.

Insect-a-Slip Insect Barrier—Fluon Insect-a-Slip prevents arthropods from climbing out of traps, cages, or other containers. It is a fluoropolymer resin (PTFE-30), milky white liquid that can be applied to any smooth surface such as glass, plastic, or metal. The solution is brushed or wiped onto the inside top portion of the trap or container. After it has dried, it forms a slick barrier that prevents arthropods from obtaining a foothold on the treated area. This product is packaged in amber glass bottles, available in three sizes. Safety precaution: Vapors can be liberated that may be hazardous if inhaled. Open and use Insect-a-Slip only outdoors or in well-ventilated areas using local exhaust ventilation (LEV).

Litter Reducer This great time saver is used to reduce litter to workable quantities for extracting organisms using the Berlese funnel. From Europe, this beautifully made, two-handed sifter quickly reduces bulky samples to manageable size prior to final extracting. By placing litter on the internal screen and shaking with the two handles, the smaller particles fall to the bottom of the sifter where they can be removed and processed easily. Two 12" (30.5 cm) diameter screens are provided. The 1 cm screen can be used first and then the sample can be sifted through the 50 mm screen for further reduction. 2834 Litter reducer 345.75

However, they do not have doors or an exterior finish. Reduced materials cost and production time result in a substantial cost saving. Cabinets are packed unassembled, and can be sent by UPS or FedEx, reducing shipping cost by ~50%. They are easy to assemble using a screwdriver and hammer. Cabinet sides, top, bottom, and center supports are 3/4" Melamine-coated particle board, with a smooth, white finish that requires no further treatment. Drawer runners are the same extruded aluminum type used in standard cabinets. Plastic, non-marring guides on the bottom protect floors and cabinets. These units provide important, affordable options for the individual collector or for institutional collections. They can be joined to form “blocks” of cabinets. For example, if five 2512KD cabinets are placed side by side, and five additional units are placed on top for a second tier, the resulting module will house 120 Cornell drawers. The cost of housing 120 drawers in this footprint is less than 50% of that for standard 12 drawer cabinets. “Blocks” of open-faced cabinets can also be placed back to back, bolted together and placed on rollers to make them mobile, creating a type of compactor system. An individual collector can purchase single units as needed, and dedicate a wall to housing a collection with these attractive cabinets. 2106KD Cornell cabinet for 6 drawers, unassembled 162.00 Dimensions: 22-1/4" high, 20-5/8" wide, 17-1/4" deep (56.5 x 52 x 43.5 cm) Weight: 46 pounds; ship weight 50 pounds 2512KD Cornell cabinet for 12 drawers, unassembled 302.00 Dimensions: 42-1/4" high, 20-5/8" wide, 17-1/4" deep (107 x 52 x 43.5 cm) Weight: 67 pounds; ship weight 72 pounds Cabinet prices do not include drawers. 2106KD, & 2512KD with 1013C drawers Phone: (310) 667-8800 $ Fax: (310) 667-8808 $ www.bioquip.com 1 CornellUniversity System 7 Drawers BioQuip INSECT STORAGE

Display Vials Glass display vials are an excellent alternative for temporary or permanent storage of dry specimens or other materials. They are convenient to use in the field or lab because only one hand is needed to remove or replace stoppers, leaving the other hand free. Neck diameters and openings are larger than for equivalent shell, patent lip or screw cap vials, allowing them to accommodate larger specimens.

Glass Capsule Vials The wide mouth opening (17.4mm) of glass capsule vials makes them highly suitable for general use. Vials are made of standard Borosilicate glass tubing. Black screw caps with Polyseal lining are 24mm. The polyethylene liner projects into the mouth of the vial providing a double seal when screwed tightly. It virtually eliminates evaporation of alcohol, reducing time required for collection maintenance. The 4 dram size is used with the 1135B aspirator which allows specimens to be collected directly into vials that will be filled later with alcohol. Sihce all glass capsule vials have the same diameter, the larger sizes may also be used with the 1135B aspirator.

The upper chamber is a heavy duty rain-tight plastic case with carry handle, latch and hinges. It is 16-1/2 x 8-1/4 x 6-1/2" high (42 x 21 x 16.5 cm). A permanently mounted horizontal exhaust duct supplies negative air pressure inside the case. The duct contains a 6-volt motor and fan, activated automatically by an electrical photoswitch at dusk. Manual turnoff is required at dawn to prevent loss of trapped mosquitoes. Power is supplied by four ‘D’ cell batteries (available separately), or by a 6-volt lantern battery. The upper chamber also houses a reversible vertical duct which functions as the mosquito pickup after being extended to about one inch above the water surface. A collecting chamber with screened top and stockinette closure rests on the upper end of the vertical intake duct. A binder clip acts as closure.

It consists of six 2-foot aluminum segments that screw together to form a lightweight handle up to 12 feet in length. Net ring is spring steel with 18" diameter, and net bag is white aerial. Net bag options include bags in dark green or extra soft white or sand netting. When disassembled, the net is about 25" x 3", and fits compactly in a suitcase. It is intended for use in a vertical position to trap high flying insects. Use in a horizontal position at the 12-foot length is not recommended.

K. Edwards, Canada Department of Forestry. The concept has been expanded to provide multiple signals for operating a 12-volt DC light or trap to attract night flying insects. The simple, yet highly practical design lends itself to wide variation in trap operation. The timer can be used with any BioQuip 12-volt DC light. It turns a light ‘on’ and ‘off’ for one or more predetermined periods from 12 minutes up to 24 hours. Setting the timer is easily accomplished by cutting “windows” in a clock face/ program card. Mylar program cards are held securely in place where needed by four button magnets. This timer is limited only by the user’s requirements or power supply capability, since collecting lights can be operated while the user is absent. The 24-hour military clock dial prevents the timer from being set for daylight hours unless specifically intended. The timer motor features a quartz clock motor. The housing is a secure aluminum box 4 x 4 x 2" with clear acrylic window and 12-volt DC connectors on 18" leads. The top and bottom are secured with knurled screw fasteners. An AA battery, six program cards, and instructions are included. 2835 DC Timer with 6 program cards each 114.20 2835B Timer program cards, Mylar dozen 4.35

Universal Programmable Timing Switch This versatile electronic programming device facilitates scheduling a wide variety of applications for the operation of electrical equipment. A series of up to 42 independent commands may be programmed for day of the week, hour and minute. The switch can handle loads of up to 16 amps and is wired for 12-volt DC operation. The clock is a solid-state quartz-based timer accurate to four minutes per year. An internal backup ni-cad battery maintains the current date/time and switching program for several days without external power. Minimum on or off time is one minute; maximum is one week. Up to 42 pairs of on/off events can be programmed and it is possible to have the same program of up to eight on/off events scheduled for each day of the week. The switch is contained in an unbreakable, water-resistant polypropylene cylinder, 3" diameter x 2.5", with 6 feet of input cord and 4 feet of output cord. It is protected from overloads with an internal fuse. Operating and programming instructions are included. Weight is 14 oz. 2847B Programmable timing switch, for 12-volt DC operation 195.95

Pitfall Trap This economical trap provides a simple method for passive trapping of ground insects and other arthropods. When used with ethylene glycol (radiator antifreeze), it keeps specimens in good condition for extended periods between trap servicing. The trap includes two white plastic pint containers, 4-1/2 x 3", placed in the ground so that the rim is flush with the soil surface. The upper container is lifted out to remove specimens, and the bottom container stays in the ground. A white plastic top, 10-1/4" diameter, deflects rainfall and provides shade. The trap top is secured with three 16-penny construction nails pushed through pre-punched holes in the top and into the ground. Clearance of about 1/2" above the containers is provided by three aluminum spacers and washers placed on nails under the top. (Ethylene glycol not included.)

Fluorescent black light tubes used to attract a wide spectrum of insects are placed in the trap to permit 360° visibility. Two types are available: $ The 12-watt ‘U’-shaped tube is entirely visible when the trap is in operation. This black light is both space and power efficient. $ The 22-watt Circline black light tube is mounted on top of vanes under the trap’s lid. It provides greater attracting ability than the 10-watt model but uses more electrical power in operation. Traps are powered either by 120-volt AC 60 Hz (North Ameri- can) electrical current, or 12-volt DC current used in most vehicle or power pack batteries. Appropriate AC or DC electrical connectors are provided. Ballasts are hung on the outside of the bucket, and may be protected from moisture by a plastic bag. Lights are mounted on three-part clear acrylic vanes that also support the lid and provide baffling for incoming insects. Because all components can be packed inside Universal Light Traps, these compact units are conveniently stored or trans- ported to and from collecting locations.

Photoelectric Switches The effective operation of portable night light collecting systems can be enhanced considerably by using a photoelectric switch. These light sensitive devices automatically turn black lights "on" at dusk, and "off" at dawn, and are available for AC or DC applications. They make unattended night collecting possible when the user is not on hand to turn the lights on or off, and eliminate power consumption during daylight hours. Switches are housed in aluminum boxes 1-5/8 x 2-1/8 x 2-3/4" with small 2833A windows that expose photo cells to light changes. Two 18" electrical 2833B leads with appropriate AC or DC connectors are provided. The 2833B switch is used with lights and traps wired for 12-volt DC The 2833A photoelectric switch is designed for lights and traps using current (commonly used in motor vehicles and battery packs). It has 120-volt 60 Hz (North American) electrical current.

Six Meter Malaise Trap Malaise traps usually are stretched across a stream path, open area or other natural flyway for passive collection of flying insects. The six-meter Malaise trap, as described by Gressitt and Gressitt*, is several times larger than any other Malaise trap available commercially. With its successfully proven design, double collecting head, and large square foot exposure, it gathers almost unlimited numbers of insects in a relatively short period of time when properly located. (During summer months in Florida, a trap will fill the two collecting heads in 24 hours.) The trap is 6 meters (19.5 feet) long, 3 meters (9.75 feet) high, and 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) wide. It is designed to be suspended between trees with the roof held open by ropes tied to vegetation. The bottom is secured with stakes. The trap can be erected by one person, and instructions are included for set up and constructing a simple A-frame support when there are no trees available. Frame not included with this trap. The trap is carefully fabricated of strong, UV resistant, 14 x 18 mesh gray polyester, reinforced at the corners. The ‘dry’ type collecting chambers are 4" diameter x 9" long, made of clear acrylic plastic with polyethylene funnel, and clear acrylic inner poison container.

Lindgren Funnel Trap Versatile and effective trapping system was developed by Staffan Lindgren at Simon Fraser University and is successful for monitoring or mass trapping of ambrosia and bark beetles in coniferous forests. Traps were designed to use semiochemicals to attract beetles, but they capture other tree pests as well when using various crushed grains as lures. (BioQuip does not supply pheromones or other lures; they must be purchased locally.) Traps consist of a series of four, eight, or 12 plastic funnels arranged vertically. The conical shape of each funnel allows an unobstructed 360-degree catch radius. The downward angle of each funnel causes fast- approaching beetles to be deflected downward into the collecting cup. Escape is prevented by the baffling arrangement of funnels. Capture does not rely on sticky surfaces or chemical pesticides. Beetles are killed through heat and dehydration. A conical drain in the collection bottle increases drainage and prevents clogging from debris. A collecting cup without drain is available as a separate item for those using a liquid killing agent, Traps are hung from branches or from rope strung between trees. They are light and collapsible for easy transport. 2852 2853 2854 4-funnel trap 8-funnel trap 12-funnel trap Extended height 22.5" (57 cm) 31.8" (81 cm) 45.0" (112 cm) Collapsed height 10.0" (25 cm) 10.4" (26 cm) 10.8" (27 cm) Funnel diameter 8.0" (20 cm) 8.0" (20 cm) 8.0" (20 cm) Trap surface area 231.0"2 (1490 cm2) 538.0"2 (3471 cm2) 878.0"2 (5665 cm2) Weight 1.2 lb (550 grams) 1.6 lb (747 grams) 2.3 lb (1052 grams)
