Biogents Sweetscent Mosquito Attractant Refill, 6-Pack — human-skin scent sachets, ~8-week life

BG-Sweetscent is a laboratory-developed mosquito lure refill that replicates human skin chemistry to markedly increase capture rates in compatible Biogents traps.

Designed and produced by Biogents in Germany, this six-pack of BG-Sweetscent refill sachets supplies attractant for BG-Mosquitaire, BG-Home and many other commercial mosquito trap models. Each single-use sachet releases the specific scent components that entice target species such as Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito) and Aedes aegypti (yellow fever mosquito), helping traps locate and capture more biting insects compared with traps run without the lure.

How long does each BG-Sweetscent pack stay active in a trap?

Each attractant sachet is formulated to remain effective in an operational trap for about two months under normal outdoor conditions. That means a six-pack will support continuous baiting for one trap over roughly a year, or for two traps over approximately six months when replaced on schedule.

• Single sachet life: ~8 weeks in use
• Six-pack coverage: ~12 months for one trap
• Two-trap setup: ~6 months per trap
• Replace when sachet becomes depleted or trap maintenance is performed

Which mosquito traps and species work best with BG-Sweetscent?

BG-Sweetscent is optimized for use with Biogents’ active trapping systems such as BG-Mosquitaire and BG-Home, and it can improve performance of many other commercially available traps. It is particularly effective for species attracted to human-skin-derived odors, including Asian tiger and yellow fever mosquitoes. Do not use this lure with traps that rely on different capture principles, such as the passive BG-GAT.

• Recommended: BG-Mosquitaire, BG-Home and similar active traps
• Targeted species: Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti primarily
• Not recommended: BG-GAT passive trap
• Compatible with many commercial traps to boost attraction

How does BG-Sweetscent improve a trap’s performance?

The lure contains a calibrated blend of volatile compounds that mimic the scent profile of human skin, increasing the chance that host-seeking mosquitoes will fly toward the trap. Field evaluations and controlled studies have shown a substantial rise in captures of certain Aedes species when traps are baited with this attractant versus unbaited traps. Use with an appropriate active trap and follow replacement intervals for steady effectiveness.

• Emits human-skin-like odor cues that attract host-seeking mosquitoes
• Proven to increase captures of specific Aedes species in studies
• Best results when used in active suction/airflow traps
• Regular replacement maintains consistent lure output

How should I store and replace the refill sachets?

Store unopened sachets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their volatile components. Replace the active lure in your trap every two months, or sooner if the trap is exposed to heavy rain, high heat, or other conditions that may accelerate depletion.

• Storage: cool, dry, out of direct sunlight
• Replacement interval: every ~8 weeks in regular conditions
• Adjust schedule if environmental exposure is severe
• One sachet required per trap at a time

Who is this for: Biogents BG-Sweetscent 6-pack is aimed at homeowners, pest professionals, and public-health teams using active BG-series traps or compatible commercial devices who want a ready supply of a scientifically formulated attractant. It’s useful for seasonal mosquito management programs and for anyone focusing on control of Aedes species that are drawn to human-skin-based scents.
