The BG-Home is an excellent tool that has been specifically developed to control mosquitoes and other annoying insects indoors.

The trap is specially attractive to the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) and the yellow fever (or dengue) mosquito (Aedes aegypti), both of which are not only annoying but can transmit diseases like dengue fever, chikungunya, or Zika.

The trap’s capture method is based on the same patented capture technology of all Biogents suction traps. The BG-Home imitates the manner in which odors are presented by a human body:

Biogents has developed and patented an artificial human scent, the BG-Home scent. This scent, which is especially attractive to tiger and yellow fever mosquitoes, is dispersed by the trap in a plume that closely resembles the one produced by a human.

Additionally, inside the trap, a heated surface at body temperature provides an additional attractive stimulus for the mosquitoes. A UV light attracts additional pest insects. Last but not least, to a mosquito, the black color of the trap is also visually attractive. Approaching mosquitoes are lured closer by all these attractive cues and are then captured and deposited into the base of the trap where they dehydrate.

A transparent window allows you to monitor the cach and indicates when it is time to empty the trap
