Maintenance - Biogents Sentinel Instruction Manual

Lures and Attractants
In principal all kinds of lures can be used with the trap. Simply place the lure inside
the trap in the black mesh pocket located on the outside of the suction tube. We offer
our special patented BG-Lure, which mimics the scent of human skin and releases
a mixture of several compounds for up to five months. We also offer the Biogents
Sweetscent attractant which is similar to the BG Lure, but only lasts 2 months, and is
ideal for indoor use. Both products use substances which are classified as non-toxic
and attract blood seeking insects that prefer to feed on humans.
Inserting the Sweetscent & BG-Lure:
1. Open the package that contains the lure.
2. Remove the lure from the package.
3. Place the lure inside the black mesh pouch
(7) located on the outside of the suction
tube (8).

Maintenance

All nets must be kept clean, including the white gauze covering, catch bag, and funnel
net! Any dirt or dust can clog the pores of the nets and hinder the air flow. In case they
need to be cleaned, wash them (by hand or machine) with unperfumed soap to avoid
odour contamination! The residue from cleaning agents may have a repelling effect on
the mosquitoes and consequently reduce the catch rate.
If the catch bag is damaged or torn it should be replaced, as the mosquitoes are
able to escape. Extra catch bags, replacement sets and other accessories can be
purchased from your supplier.
