BG-Sentinel 2 - Basic Version mosquito trap

Biogents most reknown trap for researchers, the BG-Sentinel, was initially developed to enable researchers all over the world to monitor the vectors of dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever (Aedes [Stegomyia] aegypti, Ae. [St.] albopictus, Ae. [St.] polynesiensis) and is now considered the gold standard for monitoring these species. It is the result of more than sixteen years of academic research into the host-finding behavior of  mosquitoes. During its use on different continents it became evident that the BG-Sentinel also catches other mosquito species and blood-sucking insects. This is why the trap is now used by scientists, healthcare professionals, PCOs (Pest Control Operators), and private households worldwide.

With the addition of carbon dioxide (CO₂), the BG-Sentinel is an excellent surveillance tool for mosquitoes in general.

The BG-Sentinel:
• is collapsible
• light-weight and easy to transport
• mimics convection currents created by a human body
• employs attractive visual cues releases artificial skin emanations through a large surface area
• can be used without CO₂ to specifically capture selected mosquito species (e.g., Stegomyia spp and Culex quinquefasciatus).
• is an excellent general mosquito trap when used with CO₂. We offer now an optimized yeast kit for 24-hour CO2 production, the BG-CO₂ Generator. Learn more about it >

The trap is also large enough to incorporate additional attractants
(for example animal hairs, worn clothing, small animals, food, light and heat sources) making it a very versatile tool for other researchers as well. Numerous independent scientific studies have been conducted with the BG-Sentinel all over the world, and it has been successfully proven in more than 300 publications > to be the most effective mosquito trap on the market.
