G.R.I.D. Step 3

Step 3: Place Egg Cup

Deadline: Check With Your Teacher

Hello Mosquito G.R.I.D. Agent,

By now, you should have received your Mosquito G.R.I.D. kit! You will use the egg cup to collect mosquito eggs.

Here is what you need to do next:

Watch "Step 3: Place Egg Cup" below for directions. Before going outside, apply repellent or take other bite prevention measures.

A green bush with leafy branches against a red brick wall may be a good place to place an egg cup. — Look for shade for your egg cup

Part 1: Choose the Location for the Cup

Helpful hints: Look for a shaded area near plants or trees.

In soft, uneven soil, use the spike to keep the lure from tipping over.

Part 2: Label Egg Paper

Be sure your egg paper is labeled with your agent number (use a pencil, ink runs when wet) before placing it in the cup. Follow the video directions for proper placement.

Part 3: Fill and Place Your Cup on Sunday

A hand tilting a red cup, pouring out water. — Did you remove all other attractants?
