BG-Sweetscent is a unique artificial odor that mimics scents found on human skin. The addition of this attractant makes mosquito traps highly attractive for Asian tiger mosquitoes and yellow fever mosquitoes. It targets host seeking female mosquitoes and therefore saves you from biting.
A human’s skin scents are an important factor for mosquitoes to seek for and find their blood meal. Our BG-Sweetscent is a unique artificial odor that mimics scents found on human skin. The addition of this attractant makes mosquito traps highly attractive for Asian tiger mosquitoes and yellow fever mosquitoes.
It targets host seeking female mosquitoes and therefore saves you from biting.
The pouch contains a patented formulation based on lactic acid developed by Biogents and mimics the human skin scent.
One BG-Sweetscent sachet is effective for up to two months. Afterwards it should be replaced.
BG-Sweetscent is to be used with mosquito traps that attract host seeking mosquitoes (unlike the Biogents BG-GAT trap which attracts egg-laying mosquitoes).
The BG-Sweetscent is registered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), registration number 87472-1, and is available throughout the US, including California.
Scientific studies show that using BG-Sweetscent in mosquito traps can increase catch rates of mosquitoes that transmit diseases like dengue, Zika or chikungunya by up to 4 fold. BG-Sweetscent is the first attractant targeting Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus that has been scientifically proven to work with many different traps.
Take advantage of this benefit when you shop for the BG-Sweetscent mosquito attractant today.
Attract Disease-Carrying Mosquito Species
BG-Sweetscent, Biogents unique and patented mosquito attractant, targets host-seeking female mosquitoes. Specifically, BG-Sweetscent attracts Asian tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus) and yellow fever mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti).
Mosquitoes like the Asian tiger and yellow fever species are attracted to certain scents humans emit. On the one hand, the carbon dioxide of the human breath leads mosquitoes to the human hosts. On the other hand, certain components of the scents human skin emits, including lactic acid, attract especially Asian tiger mosquitoes and yellow fever mosquitoes.
As such, Biogents developed a mosquito attractant that mimics these human skin scents. BG-Sweetscent is a lactic acid-based formula with other food grade quality components and can be used inside your mosquito trap to increase catch rates for Asian tiger mosquitoes and yellow fever mosquitoes.
How the BG-Sweetscent Mosquito Attractant Works
The BG-Sweetscent mosquito attractant was developed through extensive laboratory testing and is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency. It has been scientifically proven to increase catch rates for the Aedes species of mosquitoes, such as the Asian tiger and yellow fever mosquitoes. BG-Sweetscent increases the catch rates of mosquito traps for these species through the use of a lactic acid-based formula that mimics human skin scent which attracts mosquitoes.
The BG-Sweetscent pouch has to be placed inside the trap’s body where the scent can waft through a funnel and attract mosquitoes. A pouch of BG-Sweetscent mosquito attractant can last for up to 2 months. After this period, you can shop for a new pack of mosquito attractants.
