Effective anti-mosquito repellent, design terminal, connected app… Co₂ Willo anti-mosquito repellent from Wiliv Coche (almost) all boxes. Here is our full test.
Every summer is the same catchphrase. The evenings on the terrace saw fight against dozens of mosquitoes, despite lemongrass candles and repellent sprays. For many, conventional solutions are no longer enough. This is where the Wiliv brand Willo’s brand comes into play. This Connected trap made in Francelaunched in 2024 by the company My mosquito boxpromises to regulate the population of mosquitoes without chemicals or insecticides. And above all, without compromise on the design.
Thought as a real garden object, the Willo terminal plays the card of discretion: a Epoxy anthracite metal dressinga gentle light which acts as a night light … and a formidable trap for mosquitoes, based on biomimicry. Co₂, Olfactory attractive and targeted suction system: the trio that reproduces breath and human smell to trap them effectively.
Does this new 2025 version hold its promises? We tested it with usmosquitoes included.
Goodbye mosquitoes, hello terrace
They had been talked about last year with a promising first version. This year, Wiliv returns with an anti-mosquito terminal redesigned from top to bottom: aspiration plus large, Design Plus Robuste, Optimized CO₂ diffusion et Compatibility with the mobile app To control all of this from a distance.
We tested the version 2025 Willo connected trap, and we can say: the brand learned from its beginnings.
A terminal redesigned to the details
The Willo version 2025 is not content to correct its small flaws: it goes much further. We first notice a wider aspirationFrom now on magnetic. A simple but effective improvement, which facilitates maintenance. THE technical block It was also revised to better guide the extension cable, with an extended notch and a reinforced shape which resists better use.
Side Diffusion of CO₂there are several notable improvements. The integrated stop for the bottle avoids placement errors, the positioning of the diffuser has been modified to maximize the attraction, and the container of the attractive was redesigned to avoid drops that were harmful to ventilation.
In short, it is a update thought for demanding users.
An application that makes (almost) everything
The Willo terminal can work alone, but it is via the app that the experience becomes really interesting. It allows:
- Programmer CO₂ broadcasting times,
- Follow gas and attractive consumption to avoid “off” periods in the midst of season,
- Get advice and information,
- Activate or deactivate The integrated LED.
Remains thatWe would have liked to go even further : be able to deactivate CO₂ automatically in case of rain or strong wind (thanks to a sensor or Wi-Fi connection). Maybe for a future version?
A simple installation … provided you are well equipped
The terminal arrives without a bottle of Co₂ or extension. It will therefore be necessary to plan:
- a IP44 exterior extension (we recommend for example the Lidl, Amazon or action models in 10-15 m),
- a 5 kg co₂ bottle Compatible with the registered regulator (at a reseller: € 85 of instructions + € 21.5 per recharge, or online: CO2BIO.COM),
- and Specific attractive bag to be renewed every two to three weeks. The easiest way is to change it at the same time as the bottle.
Once these elements in hand, the installation is well thought out: we slide the extension through the base, we connect, we position the bottle and the net, and off we go.
Special mention for the application Who guides step by step and for LEDs on the internal case: they indicate whether the trap is active, connected, or in default.
“We have chosen the 5 kg bottle format (14 kg when the bottle is full) given customer returns on the difficulty of carrying/handling 10 kg bottles full of gas (26 kg when they are full). Willlo wants to be practical and very easy to install, wear, move, … whatever the age and “force” of the customer. According to Wiliv.
And on the field, what does it give?
During our test, the terminal captured a Good amount of mosquitoes (During our test last year: around 40 mosquitoes per day; this year much less: around 5 per day, because we really have far fewer mosquitoes in general). It must be said that the suction rate is good, and that mosquitoes are attracted to the combo Co₂ + Attractive odorous. The suction continues 24 hours a day, even without diffusion of gas, makes it possible to trap mosquitoes in transit.
On the noise side, our measurements are as follows: the Fan produced 46 dB at 1 meter, 39 dB 3 meters et 37 dB 5 meters. Enough to be heard, but not annoying if you place it a little away.
Precisely, he is advised not necessarily sticking the terminal on its terraceat the risk of attracting mosquitoes where you are. Rather, it will be positioned between vegetation (rest area) and outside living space.
Should we fall for the Willo terminal?
This trap is not the best value for money on the market, but its Positioning in terms of price seems consistent with us with its unique design, manufacturing and characteristics. A good value for money is said to be below the 800 € mark.
If you are looking for a Effective anti-mosquito solution without pesticides The Willo checks almost all the boxes. It requires a initial investment and a little rigor in the installation, but in return, it allows significantly reduce the mosquito population in a garden.
The quality/price ratio can be debated. If we compare Willlo to other market solutions, such as the biogerent trap – sold half cheaper (kit C02 & Timer included) for comparable efficiency – it is not the most accessible. However, it is important to distinguish “integrated” traps (with bottle of co₂ inside the terminal), category in which Willlo remains the best option below 900 €. This trap is intended for those who want a designer, robust and turnkey solution. Its price is also explained by Several differentiating points :
- 100 % French manufacturingfrom electronic sheet to sheet metal.
- A unique designwith integrated light and Bluetooth connection,
- The only lasting metal trap currently on the market.
- A 100 % integrated systemwith the Co₂ bottle hidden inside the case.
- Customer service reactive and accessible.
Think about anticipate the purchase extension and bottle of CO₂ to avoid unpleasant surprises during installation. Finally, think of Follow the preventive actions of the application and think of Activate the terminal at the very start of the season To maximize the results.
