Adjusting The Co 2 Consumption; Operation Of The Trap - Biogents BG-Mosquitaire CO2 Manuel D'instruction

Adjusting the CO consumption:

Open the valve on the CO
it counterclockwise until it is completely open.
The pressure can be adapted to the local and seasonal con-
ditions with the black knob on the front of the pressure re-
gulator [F11, (2)]. To increase flow rates, turn to the right. To
decrease flow rates, turn to the left. We recommend a flow
rate of 0.5 kilograms per day (marker on the display of the
pressure regulator) for normal and high mosquito nuisance:
• when the disturbance from the mosquitoes strongly
increases
• at the beginning of the high season for mosquitoes
• after flooding events
• when there are still puddles or similar collections of
water that have not dried up seven days after heavy
rainfall. In this amount of time, mosquito eggs can
develop into adult mosquitoes.

With higher flow rates up to 1.5 kilograms per day, it is pos-
sible to further increase the catch rates.
For low mosquito nuisance we recommend a flow rate of 0.2
kilograms per day (blue marker on the display of the pressu-
re regulator).
