Description
CATCH THEM ALL WITH CO2
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) is a component of our breath and helps mosquitoes find us in their search for a blood meal from a relatively long distance. Using CO2 as an additional attractant makes our mosquito trap BG-Mosquitaire irresistible for all mosquito species.
The two attractants BG-Sweetscent and CO2 mutually enhance the trapping effect. With the BG-Booster CO2 upgrade set, CO2 is optimally dispersed and the release rate can be adjusted to the local and seasonal mosquito situation. The CO2 tank must be sourced separately.
Contents
- 1x CO2 pipe (5m)
- 1x CO2 emitter nozzle
- 1x special pressure reducing regulator for CO2 bottles (with pressure gauge). The colour of the pressure reducing regulator may vary.
The gas bottle is not included in the contents. For more information on where to obtain CO2, see the "CO2" tab.

CO2 SOURCES
The gas bottles are not included in the contents. For our CO2 traps, we recommend using a 10 kg gas cylinder. However, you could also use 5, 6, 10, or 20 kg if you prefer. How long the tank will last, depends on how many hours per day CO2 is released, which depends on the local mosquito activity through the day. If CO2 is released 24 hours with our recommended release rate of 0.5 kg/day, the CO2 tank will last 20 days.
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 possible in some locations.
Depending on the country, we partly have cooperations with CO2 companies. You can find more info here >
Biogents in the News
Boosts your trap’s attractiveness for all mosquito species:
House mosquitoes
House mosquitoes lay up to 350 eggs in rain barrels, abandoned watering cans and buckets, garden ponds or puddles. They set out in search of blood meals especially from dusk till dawn and are particularly troublesome then.
Floodwater mosquitoes
Floodwater mosquitoes usually occur in very large swarms and can be active day and night. They lay their eggs in regions that are flooded. After floods, masses of larvae can hatch almost simultaneously.
Tiger mosquitoes
Unlike most other mosquitoes, tiger mosquitoes are day biters. They are small, black and white striped as well as unusually aggressive. Female tiger mosquitoes normally lay their eggs in natural or artificial containers filled with water (e.g., water residues in flower vases), no matter how small they are, making the Asian tiger mosquito perfectly adapted to the urban environment.
Recommendation: BG-Booster CO2
If you are mainly bothered by other than tiger mosquitoes, e.g. house or flood water mosquitoes, we recommend to use the BG-Mosquitaire outdoor trap in combination with CO2 using the BG-Booster CO2
