FAQ Are Biotraps toxic to children or pets? Permethrin is safe for mammals. It would take over 40-50 containers of Biotraps for a small pet to feel sick. Oral toxicity study conducted with the containers demonstrated LD>5,000mg/Kg p.c What happens if an animal drinks the water? Biotraps are sprayed with permethrin inside the pot. Due to the hydrophobic nature of permethrin, there is very little insecticide in the water. The trap only works when the female mosquito lands inside the pot. Risk Assessment carried out for exposure to the container was evaluated by the regulatory body and demonstrated acceptable safety for contact and ingestion. What do I do with Biotraps after they biodegrade? Biotraps can be left to biodegrade or collected and disposed of in your trash bin. What happens if it rains? Will they work in the rain? Biotraps have a hole near the top that prevents overfilling, and since the insecticide is coated on the inside of the trap, it will not diminish its effect. Biotraps have been tested in tropical areas, specifically during the rainy season, and still remain effective. Will Biotraps kill other insects? Biotraps are specifically designed to attract female mosquitoes. What happens if water evaporates? The water in the Biotraps can be replenished until they leak, for up to a month.
