Hello,

if you have arrived on this product page, it is because you have decided that it was time to take possession of your terrace or garden!

Mosquitoes are a disaster, it's not a secret:

• They prevent you from taking full advantage of your outdoor spaces, forcing you to stay locked inside at certain times of the day!
• Leave you horrible pimples, which itches you!
• They can transmit diseases! 
• Even your animals are annoyed by these tiny creatures thirsty of fresh blood!

Fortunately, after having tested many solutions, we finally found our happiness! A truly effective mosquito trap designed more than 17 years ago in Germany (all the technical details below and the scientific evidence in the appropriate tab)!

To put it simply, we use an imitation of artificial human odor designed to last up to two months, which is available in the trap, so by following the recommendations of his placement, and by doing different location tests, you will get impressive catching rates!

With this CO2 Trap, you will catch every species of mosquitoes!

 

Don't let the mosquitoes Trap You inside!

 A customer from Texas sent us the following video: (After few days)

 

About the coverage area: The CO2 Trap cover about 1 076 to 6 456 square feet.

There are many different criteria which have an influence on the catching rate such as mosquito population, breeding waters, resting places, coppice, climate, surroundings etc... you will find the case study here

At this time, you probably have already purchased your trap, if not, let me talk to you about the brand.

Their products have been proven in Europe for 18 years.

Biogents has decided in 2018 to propose this effecient solution to you !

The BG-Mosquitaire CO₂ US is an excellent trap for all mosquito species and other flying blood-feeding insects. The sturdy plastic trap is designed to be placed on the ground. It uses the same patented capture technology of all Biogents traps with the additional use of pure CO₂, which is an attractive key element of human respiration and the most important attractant for blood-feeding insects.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂):
CO₂ is the most important attractant for the majority of blood-sucking insects. The gas is present in the breath of humans and animals. It is only present in minimal amounts of around 0.04% in the air. Human breath contains about 4%, and an adult human emits approximately one kilogram of carbon dioxide per day.
Biogents suggests CO₂ from 10 kg bottles which are also used in pubs and restaurants. Such a bottle lasts for three to seven weeks depending on the flow rate used. The flow rate can be adjusted to the local situation. We recommend a consumption of about 0.5 kg/day. CO₂ bottles are available at gas stores and gastronomy suppliers.
More information on CO₂ can be found here.

The trap has been designed to simulate a human being. It features a patented combination of attractive visual signals and a specially designed mix of artificial skin emanations ("BG Sweetscent" - effective for two months) that are released into the environment through an air plume that mimics convection currents created by a human body. 

The BG-Mosquitaire CO₂ attracts the mosquitoes and captures them with the help of a ventilator before they can reach the patio to bite you. If the trap is correctly positioned and runs continuously throughout the season, it will effectively decrease the mosquito population, and you can enjoy your patio again.

The placement of the mosquito trap is an important factor to ensure high catch rates.
Therefore, it is best to test different locations!

Positioning

• The placement of the BG-Mosquitaire CO₂ is an important factor to ensure high catch rates. Therefore, it is best to test different locations!
  
  The trap should be placed near resting sites and breeding areas of the mosquitoes:
  - in shady, wind-protected places with high humidity, e.g., in sparse shrubs
  - near rain barrels, buckets, discarded tires, natural tree and rock holes, flower pots, standing flower vases, plant saucers, or similar containers
  - do not place the trap too close to the terrace/patio and not in direct sunlight!
  
  To reduce the mosquito population, it is important to start trapping early in the season. The trap should run continuously throughout the season to achieve best results.
  
  To maximize the control effect, discard or empty all water-holding containers.

Effect

For efficient and sustainable mosquito control it is necessary to

• continuously operate the trap (24 hours a day for the entire mosquito season)
• begin operating the trap early in the mosquito season

To reduce the mosquito population, it is important to start trapping early in the season. The trap should run continuously throughout the season to achieve best results.

To maximize the control effect, discard or empty all water-holding containers.

Features

• trap made of sturdy plastic
• diameter 40 cm
• does not require carbon dioxide, propane, butane, or other flammable gases

What's the difference between BG-Mosquitaire and BG-Sentinel?

There is no difference concerning the catching rate, but only in the construction. They use the same patented technology and the same electrical components. The BG-Sentinel is our original trap that is designed for scientists and researchers to monitor mosquito populations. It is made out of a light and easily transportable material. The BG-Mosquitaire is designed for Home & Office backyard, patio & terrace.

What's the difference between BG-Mosquitaire and BG-Mosquitaire CO2?

The BG-Mosquitaire (without CO2) only catch tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus, Aedes aegypti). The CO2 versions attract all kinds of species (e.g., Culex). The CO2 version provide a higher catching rate regarding tiger mosquitoes too.
