Mosquito trap to reduce tiger mosquito population
Our high-catch-rate outdoor trap bundle "BG-Mosquitaire" was specifically developed for use against Asian tiger mosquitoes and yellow fever mosquitoes which are both day-active, very aggressive biters, and potential vectors of diseases such as dengue fever, Zika and chikungunya. The trap targets those mosquitoes that are actively searching for a host to bite.
Are you bothered by mosquitoes other than tiger mosquitoes? See our BG-Booster CO2 (CO2 upgrade set) to catch all mosquito species >>
The trap has been designed to simulate a human being: A patented combination of attractive visual signals and an air plume mimicking convection currents created by a human body.
The BG-Mosquitaire attracts the mosquitoes and captures them with the help of a ventilator before they can reach the patio to bite you. If the trap is correctly positioned and runs continuously throughout the season, it will effectively decrease the mosquito population, and you can enjoy your patio again.
For an effective mosquito control, please keep in mind that it is very important to remove/empty breeding sources on your property.
The Biogents trap system - stronger together
Biogents recommends to use the BG-Mosquitaire trap in combination with a BG-GAT trap for outdoors. Both traps complement each other in an ideal way since they target tiger mosquitoes of different stages. The third component, the BG-Home, captures those tiger mosquitoes that entered your house and also other flying pest insects indoors.
The complete Biogents trap system is available here >
If you are mainly bothered by other than tiger mosquitoes, e.g., house or flood mosquitoes, we recommend to use outdoors exclusively the BG-Mosquitaire trap in combination with CO2 and the BG-Booster CO2.

IP grade 68, outdoor suited - The placement of the mosquito trap is an important factor to ensure high catch rates. Therefore, it is best to test different locations!
The trap should be placed near resting sites and breeding areas of the mosquitoes:
- in shady, wind-protected places with high humidity, e.g., in sparse shrubs
- near rain barrels, buckets, discarded tires, natural tree and rock holes, flower pots, standing flower vases, plant saucers, or similar containers
- do not place the trap close to the terrace/patio and not in direct sunlight!
To reduce the mosquito population, it is important to start trapping early in the season. The trap should run continuously throughout the season to achieve best results.
To maximize the control effect, discard or empty all water holding containers.
