Placement
FOR MAXIMUM CATCH RATES, THE CORRECT PLACEMENT OF THE 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!

How does the trap attract mosquitoes?
The trap imitates the cues of a human body which are attractive for mosquitoes. For the mosquito, the trap looks just like a human being.
- Skin scent plume produced by a human
- Attractant plume dispersed by the trap
How does it work?
Our unique capture method
All Biogents suction traps have one thing in common: the patented counterflow principle
This is how it works:
- The heated surface attracts mosquitoes; the UV light can be on or off to also attract other insects
- The fan generates air currents that (a) imitate convection currents of a human body, (b) disperse artificial human skin scent, and (c) suck the mosquitoes in the trap.
- The dark appearance of the trap attracts mosquitoes.
- The shutter closes when the trap is not in use.
