Introduction to the BG-Sentinel Midge Trap
Congratulations on your purchase of the BG-Sentinel Midge Trap.
You have bought the latest innovation in midge traps that is the
result of thorough scientific research at the University of
Regensburg, Germany.
The BG-Sentinel trap 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, also known as dengue mosquito, Aedes aegypti and the
Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus.
It mimics the convection currents that are created by a human
body via artificially generated air plumes, employs attractive visual
cues, and releases a patented 3-component scent imitator that
mimics human skin through a large surface area.
The trap is large enough to incorporate additional attractants (for
example animal hairs, worn clothing, small animals, food, light and
heat sources) making it a very versatile tool for other researchers.
Numerous independent studies have been conducted with the BG-
Sentinel all over the world, and it has been proven to be the most
effective mosquito trap on the market. For an extensive list of all the
publications on the BG-Sentinel, please visit our website.
Biogents has adapted the renowned BG-Sentinel mosquito trap into
a trap specifically designed to catch these disease transmitting
vectors in large numbers and within a novel protection concept
against Blue Tongue Disease.
The BG-Sentinel Midge trap is used by the German surveillance program against Blue
Tongue vectors (Culicoides). There have been no reports of human transmission of Blue
Tongue Disease however it can cause serious disease in livestock, esp. cattle and sheep.
Technology & Safety
The BG-Sentinel uses innovative patented and patent-pending technology.
The BG-Sentinel is safe and easy to handle, requires an electric power supply of only
12 Volts and does not emit toxic chemicals.
Eco-Friendliness:
In contrast to most other traps, the BG-Sentinel trap does not catch beneficial insects
such as honey bees, ladybugs, and butterflies.
It does not use insecticides or pesticides.
