In this case, it is necessary to add CO₂ to the BG-Mosquitaire trap to increase capture rates for these mosquito species. CO₂ is an important attractant for all mosquitoes species. CO₂ and the BG-Sweetscent work together as synergists. Together they can greatly increase the amount of captured mosquito species and maximize the capture rate (also for tiger mosquitoes). Through our BG-Booster CO₂, the CO₂ is released from a specialized emitter nozzle which is designed to optimize the dispersal. The release rate corresponds to the rate a small child releases.

With this CO2 upgrade, the coverage area of your BG_MOSQUITAIRE trap will grow from about 538 to 1 076 square feet to about 1 076 to 6 456 square feet, so it will benefit even for Tiger mosquitoes

The pressure of the CO₂ emission can be adjusted to the local and seasonal mosquito situation with the specialized pressure reducing regulator. We recommend a flow rate of 0.5 kg/day (red marker on the display of the pressure regulator) for normal and high mosquito nuisance.

In order to supply the trap with the CO₂ attractant, a commercially available CO₂ gas cylinder with six or more kilograms is required. The gas bottle is not included in the contents. The bottle can be acquired or rented at drink retailers or bottle depots for a deposit.

The pressure reducing regulator follows the technical standards valid in the United States of America and has the connection thread CGA32.

Please note: The gas bottle is not included in the contents. The bottle can be acquired or rented at drink retailers or bottle depots for a deposit.

Dear California customers: 

Unfortunately, we cannot sell the BG-Sweetscent lure in California, yet, as the State registration process is currently backlogged. So you can use the trap with this CO2 Booster without sweet scent to catch mosquitoes.
