Review: Incredible - Update-8/1/2024: The CO2 tank finally exhausted on this, and I upgraded to a 20 pound tank. I still stand by my original review that this thing is amazing. However, saw it for a few days without the CO2 tank and, while it still works with only scent packets and catches mosquitoes, after I refilled the CO2 tank and reattached, it is crawling with mosquitoes. Totally worth the purchase. Original Review: I've tried everything in my backyard. Mosquito coils, foggers, and even buying targeted insecticides that are supposed to limit mosquito egg development. However, at the end of the day, unless I made sure that I was covered head to toe in high intensity mosquito repellent every time I walked in back, I would get destroyed by mosquitoes. Putting repellent on is fine, but if I would go outside and want to weed for 20 minutes and forget to Put on repellent , I would come back inside and be itchy. I've been looking at this thing for a year and the cost Had really put me off purchasing it. After another crazy spring here in New York, I decided just to bite the bullet and try this though. I'm totally blown away. When I first bought it, I only had the scent packet in it because I needed to wait to find a place where I could source CO2. Even with the scent packet, it caught a good deal of mosquitoes though. However, once I got CO2 attached to this and placed it properly, I haven't had a single bite in the week that I've had this installed. I pull out the bag every day to see how it's doing and the bottom third of it is just filled with mosquito corpses now. We have tiger mosquitoes and the other normal brown looking mosquitoes and I see both of them in here dead. Tips: 1) Place it properly. I have an extension cord running from an exterior outlet and I run this into a corner of my yard where it's hidden behind some foliage in a spot that's shady. 2) Just commit to buying the timer for it so that it's only pumping out CO2 at the most opportune times to target mosquito activity. That's pretty important to cut down on how many times you need to get the tank refilled. 3) just buy a 20 pound tank and figure out a way to have it be easily refilled. I think what I'm going to do is just have a delivery service that comes and picks up the tank every two months when it runs dry and give me a refilled one since I don't have a car and getting into a welding shop to have it refilled would be kind of a pain. Where I live in New York, the mosquito season is about four months. So using the regulator where you time it to come on only at very specific times when the mosquitoes are at their worst, I calculated that I'll spend about $160 a year to have the CO2 replaced. In the grand scheme of things when you think about having to constantly buy repellent, it seems like a worthwhile fixed cost. However, yes, if you live in an area where mosquito season is pretty much all the time, that might not work for everyone financially. For my situation though it's perfect. Yes. You'll need to commit to spending about 400 bucks for the machine itself, the CO2 regulator and your first filled 20 pound tank. However, if you can stomach that initial cost, I don't know of any better system that exists on the planet to keep your Backyard mosquito free . Some people have talked about taking out the bag of mosquitoes and putting it in the freezer to kill them periodically. I guess you could do this, but I don't really see the point. Once they get in here, they're completely trapped due to how the bag is designed (a cone arrangement that mosquitoes can't find their way out of once they're in) and if a mosquitoes trapped in here for two days, it dies on its own due to dehydration. I think it's likely big enough to just leave the bag in here all season and just empty out all the corpses at the end. Less maintenance too. Another thing. Zappers aren't a great technology to get rid of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes aren't attracted to light and bugs zappers kill a lot of other insects that I'm not interested in killing. This thing is super targeted, the only bugs that are trapped in here are mosquitoes. Buy this. You won't regret it. Completely sustainable and you don't have to use poison on your body and your yard to try and attempt to keep mosquitoes off of you. I'm not quite sure what the other reviews are talking about. If you follow the directions and run this thing the way it's supposed to run, you'll be able to live in normal life in your backyard again!
Review: This thing works absolutely Amazing with the CO2! - I tried a few different things & this turned out to be the total solution. First I tried the propane tank mosquito magnets at $600. Because propane tanks are so easy to get anywhere. However the propane method caught very few mosquitos. My highly uneducated guess would be mosquitos really don't care for burnt propane CO2 over pure CO2. The Biogents Mosquitaire CO2 Mosquito Trap is amazing. In full disclosure I eventually purchased 3 of these units, after proving the first one worked so well. Why not 3X the killing power?! No fun having a nice heated saltwater pool & having mosquitos buzzing around you & your guests at night. I'm in South Florida, humid summer time year round basically. I highly suggest getting the CO2 version / attachment. It works some without it & the scent baits (which are expensive) but nothing compares to the CO2 version. I ran it for a month without the CO2 until I got around to buying one tank & seeing how much of a difference it really made. The answer... Mosquitos are highly attracted to this CO2 settup & not to my guests & I. I purchsed a "TMCRAFT 20lb CO2 Tank" on desertcart for $185. It costs me about $75 to fill it with CO2 at a local beer keg store. So far I'm past a month on on my first fill & still going strong. It's catching so good on the CO2 I don't think I need the $19 a month baits. So theoretically I'm putting that money towards the CO2 Fill cost. If you don't get the CO2 you should buy the baits (which smell like dirty socks) To make my tanks last a lot longer, I turn on the CO2 at dusk & then turn off in the morning. Mosquitos are far less active in the hot day time. Rainy overcast days I leave it on... They sell a CO2 timer for like $200 but I had to draw the line somewhere. I have a friend that gets bitten by mosquitoes instantly going outside no matter what. No one else in the group gets bit but her. It's truly laughable... Since I've installed this system she hasn't gotten bitten once which is a full blown miracle. Last note the location of where I have mine placed varies your catch rate so you may want to move it around & find the best kill spot in your yard. Also I never turn the power off so they are always vacuumed in. On occasion if you want to clean the bags easiest thing to do without releasing live ones by mistake. Close the flap against the vaccum running. Pull out the full catch assembly from the base & put the whole thing quickly into a plastic grocery store bag. Tie a knot & put the whole thing in the freezer for 3 hours. Then take out, dump all the dead mosquitoes into the plastic bag you were using. Tie that off put in garbage then put your catcher assembly back in base. I never write reviews but had to on this product & after wasting $600 trying the propane mosquito magnet fail. This is close to $600 after the CO2 tank purchase & fill but absolutely worth it!

## Features

- CONTENTS: This package contains ONE BG-Mosquitaire mosquito trap (includes 2 catch bags, 1 power supply US unit (1 m cable), 1 extension cord (10 m). Separately available attractant (BG-Sweetscent) can increase catch rate. Capture Asian tiger and yellow fever mosquitoes before they bite you.
- TARGET PROFILE: Asian tiger and yellow fever mosquitoes are vectors of killer diseases including yellow fever, dengue fever, and more. The BG-Mosquitaire (without CO2 upgrade) has been designed to be most effective against these species of mosquitoes.
- BEST USE: This trap is to be placed outdoors in a humid and shady position, with electric power for its fan. It reduces mosquito bug populations. Optimal when used alongside our BG-GAT (sold separately) which targets egg-laying mosquitoes rather than biting mosquitoes.
- FUTUREPROOF: This product is up to 10x more efficient when upgraded with a CO2 emitter set. Carbon dioxide is a potent draw for all types of mosquito insect, making this trap effective on more than just Asian tiger and Yellow mosquitoes. The emitter set (BG-Booster) is available from Biogents but not included with this listing.
- ENDORSEMENTS: Biogents is a scientific company dedicated to keeping nuisance mosquito populations in check. Its products are used by the German and French militaries, numerous mosquito control institutions, and public health organizations in many countries, including the WHO.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The trap door will not stay open. Keeps falling shut. Anyone else have this issue. Also have not caught one mosquito in 3 weeks.**
A: I put mine on upside down at first. Maybe try flipping it over? The fan should pull it open. Spiders get in mine too and can web up the whole opening if I don't clean them out  The scent lures really improved my catch.

**Q: how much area does it cover?  trying to figure out how many are needed**
A: It is difficult to say exactly how big of an area each trap covers, because there are many different criteria which have an influence on the catching rate, such as mosquito population, breeding waters, resting places, coppice, climate, surroundings etc. The basic traps (BG-Mosquitaire without CO2) cover about 50 to 100 m² and the CO2 versions (BG-Mosquitaire + BG-Booster) about 100 to 600 m². But this depends on the local situation. You could start with one or two traps and can always add more if you are happy with the traps but still being bothered by the mosquitoes.

**Q: How often do you replace the bait**
A: During the mosquito season in North central Texas,  March-September, I change the bait every 4 weeks. The CO2 gas really increases mosquito capture for me.

**Q: Does it need to be connected to power outlet**
A: Yes. We are also offering here on Amazon extension cords, if needed.
