In a field study in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, the BG-Sentinel trap was compared to three other methods to catch and monitor the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti:

• The Mosquito Magnet Liberty, a trap that converts propane gas in carbon dioxide.
• The Fay-Prince trap, a professional trap especially developed to catch the yellow fever mosquito.
• Human test persons catching mosquitoes that try to obtain a blood meal from them ("human landing rate").

In comparison to the two other traps, the BG-Sentinel caught significantly more Ae. aegypti. Although human landing rates were the highest, there was no significant difference between human landing rates and the capture rates of the BG-Sentinel trap.

The results of this study have been accepted for publication in the Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association in 2006.
