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.


Trap
Imitates a human being: Air currents, visual cues and artficial human scent attract mosquitoes, 24/7 in use

Biogents CO2 CONTROL SET
To upgrade your trap with CO2 and to optimize the CO2 output.

CO2 gas bottle
CO2 is the most important attractant for the majority of blood-sucking insects

Attractive for all mosquitoes & increases catch rates

The CO2 in gas bottles is not explicitly produced to be bottled but is a recovered by-product from other industrial processes.
Therefore, the use of CO2 from gas bottles as a mosquito attractant does not represent an additional CO2 contribution to the planet, but is merely a delayed diffusion of CO2 as industrial waste.



How often you need to change the gas bottle depends on:
| Recommended periods for CO2 emissions | Estimated lifespan of a 6kg bottle | Estimated lifespan of a 425g cylinder | |
|---|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() | |
| House mosquitoes | 3:00 - 5:00 & 20:00 - 24:00 | 48 days | 3 days |
| Floodwater mosquitoes | 7:00 - 23:00 | 18 days | 1,5 days |
| Tiger mosquitoes | 8:00 - 10:00 & 16:00 - 23:00 | 32 days | 2 days |


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 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.

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.
