How to use CO2
BG-Mosquitaire trap – with and without CO2
Biogents offers the outdoor mosquito trap BG-Mosquitaire in two variations:
• The BG-Mosquitaire CO2 trap which includes a BG-Booster CO2 (the CO2 bottle must be sourced separately)
• The BG-Mosquitaire trap without the CO2 set. If you want to add CO2 to your BG-Mosquitaire trap at a later date, you can do this by adding the BG-Booster CO2 upgrade set.
The BG-Booster CO2
What is the function of the BG-Booster CO2 upgrade set?
The BG-Booster CO2 not only connects the trap to a CO2 bottle (the CO2 bottle must be sourced separately). The BG-Booster also helps to disperse the optimal dose of CO2 to imitate a human. In addition, the release rate can be adjusted to the local and seasonal mosquito situation.
Installation video
In the following video we show you how to install the BG-Booster CO2 set on your BG-Mosquitaire mosquito trap.
Optimal and low release rate of CO2
The BG-Booster CO2 adjusts the amount of CO2 released to the amount that is optimal to attract mosquitoes. Biogents recommends a daily release of 0.5 kg. This is about the amount a small child exhales daily. For comparison, an adult human exhales about 1000 grams of CO2 daily, and an average car produces about 1500 grams of CO2 per 10 kilometers.
