Description
THIS MOSQUITO TRAP COMBINATION WHICH INCLUDES THREE TRAPS PROVIDES DOUBLE THE PROTECTION BY TARGETING TWO DIFFERENT STAGES OF THE TIGER MOSQUITO LIFE CYCLE:
The highly effective BG-Mosquitaire suction trap targets tiger mosquitoes that are seeking a bloodmeal-host and want to bite you. Removing biting females creates an immediate effect making your garden more useable.
The non-electric BG-GAT trap targets tiger mosquitoes that are looking for a place to lay their eggs by imitating a breeding site to reduce tiger mosquito offspring. Catching egg laying females and preventing the eggs from becoming adult biting mosquitoes helps provide long lasting protection.

Development
The BG-GAT trap was developed by Dr. A. E. Eiras from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and Dr. S. A. Ritchie from the James Cook University, Cairns, Queensland, Australia. Biogents produces and distributes the trap under a license agreement with both universities.
Placement
FOR MAXIMUM CATCH RATES, THE CORRECT PLACEMENT OF THE TRAPS IS ESSENTIAL
In order to get the highest catch rates, test different locations!
The mosquito traps are to be used outdoors in your garden. Place the traps on the ground near resting areas of the mosquitoes, e.g., in shady, wind-protected places with high humidity such as in sparse shrubs. However, the traps should not be too hidden, but still visible. Do not place the traps directly on the terrace/patio and not in direct sunlight.
For an efficient and sustainable mosquito control it is necessary to avoid competition between the BG-GAT trap and other breeding sites. Therefore, remove or empty competing breeding sites, such as flowerpots, vases, buckets, water barrels, rain gutters, discarded cups and bottles, and plants that hold small quantities of water.

High mosquito catch rates
How does the trap attract mosquitoes?
The trap imitates the cues of a human body which are attractive for mosquitoes. For the mosquito, the trap looks just like a human being.
- Skin scent plume produced by a human
- Attractant plume dispersed by the trap
How it works
Features of the BG-Mosquitaire
- Easy to monitor catches
- 24/ 7 use
- Low power consumption (5 watts)
- Weatherproof
Our unique capture method
All Biogents suction traps have one thing in common: the patented counterflow principle
This is how it works:
- Air currents generated by the fan draw in the mosquitoes
- Upwards directed air flow imitates convection currents of a human body and dispenses artificial human skin scents
- A light-dark contrast acts as a visual cue
- Plug in the trap and let it run 24h/7 so that it constantly catches the mosquitoes before they bite you
Features of the BG-GAT
- Low-cost
Its affordability and ease of use make the BG-GAT well-suited for both the individual garden mosquito control and for neighborhood control programs - Easy to set up
Simply put the individual parts together, fill with water and place in a suitable location - Needs no power supply
The big advantage of this trap version is that it is passive, which means it does not require power - Does not use pesticides
This trap works without any insecticides, supplemental attractants like CO2, or any chemical lures
The perfect imitation of a breeding site
An imitation that will fool any egg-laying tiger mosquito
Trap
Visual cues and water plus organic material attract mosquitoes and the mesh prevents them from laying their eggs
Sticky Card
Mosquitoes get stuck on the sticky surface while trying to escape
Result
Preventing hundreds of their offspring
The trap prevents about 50 to 100 descendants with each captured female!
The trap imitates a breeding site for the mosquitoes to lay their eggs
Best catch rates thanks to scientific approach
Scientific studies show high catch rates as well as the worldwide use of the traps
Trap comparison
Outdoors | BG-Mosquitaire | BG-GAT |
---|---|---|
Tiger mosquitoes | searching for a blood meal host | searching for a place to lay their eggs |
Trap's goal | to reduce biting | to reduce reproduction |
Power supply | yes | no |
Attractant | yes | no |
Catch rates | +++++ | ++* |
* With the BG-GAT trap, a lower catch rate is normal and to be expected, as it will catch those mosquitoes that are looking for an egg-laying site and not those that want to bite a human for a blood meal. This naturally affects a smaller number of mosquitoes, but they lay a large number of eggs to have offspring (50 to 100 per mosquito).
