← CO2 overview

CO2 – Effectiveness

Why does CO2 increase the attractiveness of the BG-Mosquitaire trap?

CO2 – an important attractant for most mosquitoes

With CO2 you get them all! 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. CO2 is one of the most important attractants for the majority of blood-sucking insects including mosquitoes.

How do mosquitoes find a human being?

Mosquitoes fly against the wind direction towards the blood host attracted by the CO2 in human’s breath and skin scents.

If CO2 is added to Biogents BG-Mosquitaire trap, the catch rates for all mosquito species can be multiplied.

With CO2, the trap looks to the mosquito even more like a human being and catch rates can be greatly increased - no matter if you are bothered by mosquitoes during the day, in the evening or during the night! Because CO2 is attractive to all species of mosquitoes.

Like a human being!

With a special nozzle, the trap imitates the way HOW CO2 is released by a human being and a special regulator provides the right AMOUNT of CO2.

CO2 and BG-Sweetscent - an irresistable combination

CO2 and Biogents' attractant BG-Sweetscent work together in an optimal way: CO2 imitates the breath and the BG-Sweetscent imitates human skin odour. The combination of both can greatly increase the traps' catch rates especially for tiger mosquitoes. It also widens the spectrum of species collected.

Scientific studies show the effect of CO2!

This study for example, shows the effect of CO2 for Southern house mosquitoes: The catch rates can be multiplied when CO2 is added to the BG-Mosquitaire trap.

Optimal and low release rate of CO2

To add CO2 to the trap, the upgrade set "BG-Booster CO2 " with a specialized pressure regulator is used: it adjusts the amount of the released CO2 to the amount that is optimal to attract mosquitoes.
Biogents recommends a daily release of 200 to 500 grams. This equals about the amount a small child releases every day. In comparison, an adult human being exhales about 1000 grams of CO2 every day, and an average car produces about 1500 grams of CO2 per 10 kilometer

Examples of CO2 releases in comparison:

Did you know? With our BG-CO2 Timer you can save CO2 and money!

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. Then the CO2 cylinder will last longer and you will save money.
