Granular Media CO2 Sachets
   
  Granular Media CO2 Sachets help capture hard-to-collect species with a granular formulation that releases carbon dioxide and water vapor for 24 hours after activation. The sachets can be used with Trap Models 112, 512, 712, 812, 912, 1012, 1212. Also works with Clark's ABC trap and traps made by Hausherr and BioQuip.

Design Characteristics

Recent research in solid-phase chemistry has resulted in the development of a granular formulation that releases carbon dioxide and water vapor for 24 hours after activation. Since January of 2003 this patented technology has been the subject of continuous laboratory and field testing by multiple US government medical, agricultural and veterinary entomology groups.

 
Highlights
Enhance capture of hard-to-collect species with a slow-release plume of carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Proven to attract mosquitoes, ticks and sand flies in all settings.
Granular Media is non-flammable, stable and environmentally friendly.
Easy to use. Just remove the separating spline and gently shake the sachet to mix the 2 powders. Provides 24 hours of CO2 and water vapor release.

The Granular Media CO2 Sachets (P/N 1.25) have been proven to attract mosquitoes, ticks and sand flies in all settings. Each sachet is designed for a single trap night or day. They are non-flammable, stable and environmentally friendly. Watch this web site for additional details and summaries of field and laboratory trapping studies as they become available from Walter Reed Army Medical Research Institute, CDC, USDA, and various mosquito abatement districts.
