The BG-Sentinel trap
Congratulations for buying the BG-Sentinel. You have bought the latest innovation in mosquito traps
that is the result of more than 10 years of thorough scientific research. The BG-Sentinel
incorporates patented as well as patent pending technology and was initially developed to enable
researchers all over the world to monitor the yellow fever mosquito
Aedes aegypti
and the Asian
tiger mosquito
Aedes albopictus
.
During its use on different continents it became evident that the BG-Sentinel also catches other
mosquitoes and blood seeking insects.
This is why the trap is now used by PCOs (Pest Control Operators) all over the world.
The BG-Sentinel does not need CO

to attract:
•
Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus,
Aedes polynesiensis
•
Some
Culex
species, like
Culex
quinquefasciatus
or
Culex pipiens
With the addition of CO

the BG-Sentinel attracts:
•
Additional mosquito species
such as
Ochlerotatus
spp.
, Aedes vexans,
Aedes cinereus,
Anopheles
spp.
or
Coquillettidia
spp.
•
Other blood seeking insects such as
black flies (
Simuliidae
) or no-see-ums
(
Ceratopogonidae
)
•
More individuals of the species
mentioned above (attracted without CO
