Carefully read the directions for use before you begin
operating the Biogents Mosquitaire CO
2
(BG-Mosqui-
taire CO
2
).
•
The BG-Mosquitaire CO
2
is effective in catching mosqui
-
toes; however, it does not offer full protection against
all bloodsucking insects. In case of an epidemic that is
caused by mosquitoes, you should take further protec-
tive measures, since using the trap alone does not offer
100% protection.
•
For the maintenance of the BG-Mosquitaire CO
2
trap and
the control of the mosquito catch rate, household gloves
should be worn in order to prevent contact with the ar-
tificial human scent and to prevenet mosquito bites. The
catch bag should be properly removed to avoid mosqui-
toes from escaping.
•
If the BG-Mosquitaire CO
2
is used outside, make sure the
transformer is completely isolated from rain and splash
water.
•
When using extension cords, please keep the socket
outlet away from any moisture and avoid damage to the
cord.
•
The appliance is not to be used in or around locations
where flammable vapour or explosive dust is likely to
exist.
Congratulations on your purchase of the BG-Mosquitaire CO
2
. You have chosen a highly efficient state of the art mosquito trap
that is backed by scientific proof. The patented trapping technology of Biogents‘ trap systems won the 2007 Development
Market Place sponsored by the World Bank, and was acknowledged as a gold standard in trapping tiger mosquitoes by Rutgers
University in the USA in 2010.
Appropriate uses and regulations
The BG-Mosquitaire CO
2
trap is designed to capture mosquitoes outdoors. It needs to be protected from rain and direct sun
exposure and should be placed in an area where it will not be submerged in water. The trap and the transformer need to be
protected from intense heat (above 40° C) and extreme cold (below 5° C). The BG-Mosquitaire CO
2
should also not be used
in very dusty surroundings, as the dust may clog the nets and the gauze covering which obstructs the air currents.
The manufacturer is not held liable, in any case, if the product is improperly used, or if any variations are made to the pro-
duct. Please pay close attention to all of the information that is contained in the instruction manual.
