This innovative mosquito monitoring trap was developed by BioGents GmbH (Germany) specifically designed to be especially attractive for Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti, and Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus. It is also highly effective for a range of other species when used in conjunction with various lures/attractants. Carbon dioxide is not required to catch Aedes aegypti, A. polynesiensis, or A. albopictus, but it can be added as an attractant for other species.

Features of the BG Sentinel Trap:

• 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
• Is an excellent general mosquito trap when used with CO2

The trap is large enough to incorporate additional attractants such as fragrant substances, small living animals, worn clothing, animal hairs, light and heat sources, etc. This makes the trap a very versatile tool for both monitoring and research. Intended use is by professionals only.
