在冈比亚红树林沼泽附近的一个地区，对未喂食雌蚊的飞行模式进行了实验。当蚊子接近天然或模拟诱饵时，使用斜坡陷阱将其捕获。捕鼠夹依次排列在四条林荫道上，彼此成直角向外辐射。诱饵要么安装在林荫道形成的十字中心，要么安装在一条林荫道的外端。诱捕在6个范围内同时进行，距离诱饵5-80码（4.5 - 73米）。诱饵要么是两只小小牛，要么是从一个圆柱体中排放二氧化碳，二氧化碳的排放速度相当于动物的寿命。在没有诱饵的情况下也捕获了一系列的鱼。
Experiments were carried out on the flight pattern of unfed female mosquitoes in an area of the Gambia adjacent to mangrove swamps. The mosquitoes were trapped in flight by the use of ramp-traps as they approached natural or simulated baits. The traps were arranged in series in four avenues of cleared bush, radiating out at right angles to each other. The baits were installed either at the centre of the cross formed by the avenue or at the outer end of one avenue. Trapping was carried out at six ranges simultaneously, extending from 5–80 yd (4·5–73 m) distance from the bait. The baits were either two small calves or carbon dioxide emitted from a cylinder at a rate equivalent to the expiration rate of the animals. A series of catches with no bait was also made.
