Installation Guide

Set up your MOSCURE IPI 1 for maximum mosquito capture — indoors, at home, travelling, or on the go.

Optimal Placement

Where you place your IPI 1 is the single biggest driver of its effectiveness.

  • Use in dark or dimly lit rooms — competing ambient light sources reduce the UV lamp's attraction power significantly.
  • Position away from primary seating and sleeping areas so mosquitoes are drawn toward the trap, not toward people.
  • Keep in a low-wind environment; drafts and ceiling fans disrupt the trap's suction and drastically reduce capture rates.
  • For wall-adjacent placement, position the unit 30–60 cm from walls to allow optimal 360° airflow and UV light spread.

Height Guidelines

Position within the ideal range to intercept peak mosquito flight paths.

Place the IPI 1 between 1 and 2 metres above the ground. Avoid positions below 50 cm — mosquitoes rarely fly that close to the floor and interception rates drop sharply.

Power Setup

Connect via Micro USB (Type B) to any of these compatible power sources.

Laptop or Desktop USB

Plug directly into any USB-A port on your laptop or computer — ideal for a desk, study room, or office.

Power Bank

Use any standard 5V USB power bank for complete portability — ideal for travel, guestrooms, or camping.

5V Mobile Adapter

Any standard phone charger with 5V output and minimum 0.3A current will power the device reliably.

Minimum required: 5V / 0.3A  ·  Recommended: standard phone charger or USB power bank

Usage Tips

Best practices for consistent, long-term performance.

Keep the device powered ON continuously — especially overnight — for the best long-term mosquito reduction results.

Dusk, night, and dawn are peak mosquito activity windows; ensure the device remains fully operational during these periods.

Place in a calm, shaded area away from open doors and windows to prevent airflow interference with the trap suction.

Avoid frequent on/off cycling — sustained continuous operation dramatically outperforms intermittent use.
