← CO₂ overview

For our CO2 traps, we recommend using a 10 kg gas bottle. However, you could also use 5, 6, or 20 kg if you prefer.

The gas bottles are not included in the contents.

The gas bottles can be acquired or rented at drink retailers or bottle depots for a deposit. A door-to-door delivery service may also be available in some locations.

Depending on the country, we partly have cooperations with CO2 companies. Please switch to the respective language for more information.

How often you need to change the gas bottle depends on:

• what size you use and

• which release rate of CO2 you use

If CO2 is released 24 hours with our recommended release rate of 0.5 kg/day, a 10kg CO2 tank will last about 20 days.

Using a BG-CO2 Timer, you can reduce the CO2 release (for example only ten hours a day). In this way, the CO2 bottle lasts longer and you save money.

We recommend following time frames for the different mosquito types:

House mosquitoes: 6am - 9am and 4pm - 11pm

Flood water mosquitoes: 7am - 11pm
(At the beginning of the nuisance, we recommend to start with 24 hours continuous CO2. When the population decreases, the BG-CO2 Timer can be switched to the recommended time frames.)

Tiger mosquitoes: 7am - 10pm
