Built on decades of entomological research, the Mosquitaire offers a high-tech, non-toxic alternative to fogging and fumigation—and it’s changing the way people think about mosquito control.

The Biogents Mosquitaire targets host-seeking female mosquitoes, which are the ones actively looking for a blood meal. These are the mosquitoes that buzz around your head, bite your ankles, and leave itchy welts. Rather than trying to repel them, the Mosquitaire trap attracts and captures them, using the same cues they use to locate human hosts.

One of the most effective ways to tackle mosquitoes is to prevent them from maturing in the first place.

Fogging, whether done via DIY sprays or commercial services, relies on broadcasting insecticides into the environment. While it might kill some mosquitoes on contact, the effect is fleeting.

Even more concerning is that fogging can harm non-target species like bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. It also raises concerns about chemical exposure for children, pets, and sensitive individuals. And if you’re using foggers regularly, mosquitoes can develop resistance to these chemicals over time, making them even less effective.

The global mosquito population has been expanding rapidly—both in numbers and in geographical range.  In this changing landscape, mosquito traps are becoming increasingly important as a safe, sustainable, and science-driven solution.
