Placement & Usage

For maximum catch rates, the correct placement of trap is essential

In order to get the highest catch rates, test different locations!

To find the best place for our BG-Home indoor trap, search for a position where mosquitoes enter the house, or a dark corner on the floor or near plants. It is important to make sure that the fan of the trap runs 24 hours a day, especially if you are not at home. Do not hide the trap, nor place it too high (not more than 1 m above the ground). It is best to test different locations!

Improve mosquito control by eliminating mosquito breeding sites indoors AND outdoors:
Empty or completely cover rain barrels; remove old tires; empty plant saucers, buckets, and other water holding containers; keep rain gutters clear.

Indoor mosquito protection

Air currents and visual cues attract mosquitoes day and night

Place the trap in dark, quiet corners preferably next to some plants, not higher than 3 ft above the ground

Improve catch rates for mosquitoes with BG-Sweetscent attractant to mimic human skin scents; refills available

The optional UV light attracts other annoying pest insects indoors (hide it by turning the top part in one direction, or have it showing to attract other pest insects)

How it works

  1. The heated surface attracts mosquitoes; the UV light can be on or off to also attract other insects
  2. The fan generates air currents a) mimicking convection currents created by a human body, and (b) sucking the mosquitoes in the trap. c) Optional: An artificial human skin scent can further increase the attractiveness of the trap
  3. The dark appearance of the trap attracts mosquitoes.
  4. The shutter closes when the trap is not in use.

FAQs

What does BG-Home do?

It captures mosquitoes and other flying pest insects inside the house.

Can I use the BG-Home outside?

To find the best place for our BG-Home indoor trap, search for a position where mosquitoes enter the house, or a dark corner on the floor or near plants. It is important to make sure that the fan of the trap runs 24 hours a day, especially if you are not at home. Do not hide the trap, nor place it too high (not more than 1 m above the ground).

Are mosquitoes attracted by light?

No, it is scientifically proven that light doesn't attract mosquitoes. It is commonly said that mosquitoes are attracted to light, but this is a misconception. Mosquitoes are not attracted to light, but enter your home when you are there, simply because you are breathing and therefore emit signals that are attractive to mosquitoes: heat, skin odor, CO2.

Can I use the BG-Home in my RV, campervan, motorhome or caravan?

Yes you can, we would recommend running the trap while you are out and keeping the windows and doors closed on your return to avoid further mosquitoes entering.

What is the power consumption of the the BG-Home?

A BG-Home trap needs 10 watts (in order to support the LED lights, the heat, and the fan).
