BG-Mosquitaire trap – with and without CO2

Biogents offers the outdoor trap BG-Mosquitaire in two variations:

The BG-Mosquitaire CO2 trap which includes a CO2 upgrade set (the CO2 bottle must be sourced separately) and the BG-Mosquitaire trap without CO2 set.

save 15€ in comparison to a BG-Mosquitaire + BG-Booster upgrade set).

Right: BG-Mosquitaire without CO₂.

Why do we sell the BG-Mosquitaire trap also without CO2?

Carbon dioxide plays a subordinate role for a few mosquito species that have specialized in human beings. These mosquitoes recognize humans mostly by their skin odor.

Therefore, the Biogents traps with their visual skills in combination with the human scent imitation are still ideally suited for capturing these mosquito species without the addition of carbon
dioxide. This especially applies to tiger mosquitoes, but also to Southern house mosquitoes or a few malaria mosquitoes (Anopheles). Although the trap is sufficient for these mosquito species, the catch rates can be further increased by the addition of CO2.

Although the use of carbon dioxide can increase the capture rate significantly, traps can also be used without the addition of CO2 against these mosquito species.

When do I need to add CO2 to my BG-Mosquitaire trap?

By adding CO2 to your BG-Mosquitaire, you increase your catch rates and attract a wider variety of mosquito species. Especially if you are bothered by mosquitoes in the evenings or if you live near an area that is often flooded, it is most likely that you are not annoyed by tiger mosquitoes but house or floodwater mosquitoes. In this case, we recommend to upgrade your BG-Mosquitaire trap with the BG-Booster CO2. With the combination of BG-Sweetscent and CO2, you also multiply the catch rate of tiger mosquitoes. Therefore, an upgrade with CO2 can also be very useful when you are strongly bothered by tiger mosquitoes.

What is the function of the BG-Booster CO2 upgrade set?

It is easy to add CO2 to your BG-Mosquitaire trap with the BG-Booster CO2 upgrade set which
includes a pressure regulator, emitter nozzle and CO2 pipe. The BG-Booster CO2 does not only connect our traps with a CO2 bottle (the CO2 bottle must be sourced separately). The BG-Booster helps disperse the optimum dose of CO2 to imitate a human being. Further, the release rate can be adjusted to the local and seasonal mosquito situation.

BG-Booster CO2 upgrade set

The addition of CO2 through our BG-Booster CO2 upgrade set makes the BG-Mosquitaire even more attractive for a wide range of mosquitoes including flood water or dawn biting mosquitoes and can multiply the catch rate of tiger mosquitoes.

Where can I get the CO2?

The gas bottles are not included in the contents. For our CO2 traps, we recommend using a 10 kg gas bottle. However, you could also use 5, 6, 10, or 20 kg if you prefer. These 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. More info about possible CO2 sources in your region.

Durability of the gas bottle

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

• what size you use and

• which release rate of CO2 you use. Our CO2 traps give you the option of deciding between two flow rates: standard and high. This allows you to adapt the release of CO2 to the mosquito situation. 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, then the tank will last about two months (60 days).

Save CO2 with the BG-CO2 Timer

Depending on the mosquitoes you are bothered by, the mosquito species are active at different times of the day and night. Thus, with our BG-CO2 Timer you have the possibility to limit the CO2 output to the main activity times of your local mosquitoes (for example only eight hours a day). In this way, the CO2 bottle lasts longer andyou save money.

No additional emission of CO2

Biogents recommends using CO2 gas bottles as CO2 source. The CO2 in gas bottles is not explicitly produced to be bottled, rather, it is a recovered by-product from other industrial processes. Therefore, the use of CO2 from gas bottles as a mosquito attractant does not constitute an additional contribution of CO2 to the planet, but is only a delayed diffusion of CO2 as industrial waste. The main use of CO2 from gas bottles is in the production and distribution of carbonated drinks. CO2 is colorless, tasteless and non-flammable.
A CO2 bottle should always be placed upright and in such a way that it cannot fall over. Please refer to your supplier’s instructions.

Store the gas bottles not in direct exposure to sunlight

The CO2 gas bottles should be stored outside of the direct exposure to the sun and other heat sources. The gas is heavier than air; in case of a leakage, CO2 might accumulate in enclosed areas, especially below ground level, if the storage site is not adequately ventilated.

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.
