BG-Home Indoor mosquito trap - Biogents

Biogents’ mosquito trap BG-Home is a high-performance and eco-friendly indoor trap that targets tiger mosquitoes and other flying pest insects in the house. The trap is especially attractive to the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) and yellow fever (or dengue) mosquito (Aedes aegypti). Both are not only annoying, but can also carry diseases like dengue fever, chikungunya, or Zika. They are found in subtropical and tropical regions worldwide. In addition, the Asian tiger mosquito occurs in much of the Mediterranean. Patented technology The combination of visual cues, artificially generated air plumes and an artificial scent that mimics human skin allows the trap to effectively imitate a human being and to attract the mosquitoes. The artificial human scent (BG-Homescent) is released from a sachet that is placed inside the trap. The BG-Homescent is effective for one month; then it must be replaced. A heated surface at the top of the trap provides an additional attractive stimulus.
