Claims8
A chemical composition for generating carbon dioxide for use with an insect monitor and/or capture device comprising:
- i) an effervescent agent,
- ii) a solid acid;
- iii) a deliquescent agent which is magnesium chloride hexahydrate, and optionally
- iv) an anti-clumping agent
- wherein the molar ratio of the effervescent agent to solid acid to deliquescent agent is from 159:52:1 to 10:3:1.
