A system for mounting an ovitrap is described which allows an ovitrap to be reliably and removably secured in desired locations. The system includes a frame arranged to hold a removable container, the container arranged to hold a liquid and collect the eggs of water-breeding insects, and a retainer configured to secure the container within the frame. The retainer is configured to move between: a closed position, in which the retainer extends towards and grips the container when the container is in the frame; and an open position, in which the retainer is withdrawn from the container, allowing the container to be removed from the frame. The container can be removably secured within the frame and held in the correct orientation by one or more retainers which prevent the container being dislodged. The retainer can be moved to the open position allowing the container to be removed from the frame.
