The eco-friendly mosquito trap

The Qista mosquito trap [BAM] is a truly eco-friendly anti-mosquito solution which respects people, animals and natural resources at the same time.

Scientifically-proven and patented, Qista technology is also easy to use: the mosquito trap can be controlled remotely via the Qista app. It’s the only solution which is easy to use, eco-friendly and high tech while being incredibly effective in overcoming the problems caused by mosquitoes.

Range of 60 metres

-88% of mosquito disturbance

Operation

Thanks to its patented technology, the professional mosquito trap attracts female mosquitoes searching for their prey by simulating a human presence. The mosquitoes are then trapped inside the machine.

The Qista mosquito solution is based on 3 steps :

The dispersion of recycled carbon dioxide to simulate human breath (attracts mosquitoes)
Release of an olfactory lure to simulate human body scent (draws mosquitoes closer to the trap)
Mosquito capture using suction

In order to conserve and protect biodiversity, only the female mosquitoes in the vicinity of the areas to be protected are attracted to the Qista BAM.

Male mosquitoes and other insect species (bees, butterflies, ladybirds, etc.) are not attracted and continue to play their role in biodiversity.

The trap, the consumables, the app

The Qista mosquito solution is effective due to the combined operation of two things: the trap and the consumables. The app complements the solution for optimal use of your mosquito trap.

Trap : mechanical equipment fitted with patented technology that is used to release the consumables and capture the mosquitoes.
Consumables : recycled CO₂ gas and an olfactory lure which, when released sequentially, mimic people and attract mosquitoes to the trap.
App : connected to the trap so it can be controlled remotely, predefined programmes can be used and the level of consumables, capture statistics for each trap and weather data can be viewed.

The consumables (recycled CO₂ and olfactory lure) must be replaced every month. We also recommend replacing the CO₂ filter every year at the start of the season.

Optimised installation

Use your trap to create a barrier against mosquitoes by making a strategic decision about where it should be installed. If your property requires several traps, they are twice as efficient if they are positioned so as to create a real barrier.

Once they have been positioned properly between the living area and an area where mosquitoes reproduce, or even around the area to be protected, the network of traps acts as a mosquito barrier: female mosquitoes trying to cross it will be attracted by the olfactory lure and sucked into the trap.

Our Qista experts will indicate the ideal place for the traps for optimal protection against mosquitoes. Benefit from Qista’s expertise straight away: receive a free set-up assessment via the Qista app or by contacting our teams.

Intelligent and practical

More than just a mosquito trap, the Qista machines are based on a combination of technologies to offer users a range of new tools :

Control your mosquito trap from wherever you are with your Qista app: turn your machine on and off remotely depending on the weather conditions (it can be configured to turn itself off) or to prepare for your holiday at your second home before you arrive.

You can also choose the capture programme associated with the type of mosquito present at your home and check the level of consumables remaining, the weather conditions and the record of mosquitoes captured.

A real public health protection tool for professionals, communities and organisations :

In a town or a neighbourhood new infestations are monitored using cross tabulation of data from the traps resulting in the creation of a map indicating the presence of mosquito populations.

This “big health data” on the evolution of populations and rates of pollution can be sent to the relevant authorities.
