Description
GET YOUR FULL MOSQUITO PROTECTION OUTDOORS AND INDOORS WITH THE PERFECTLY TUNED TEAMWORK OF THE BIOGENTS TRAP SYSTEM
The Biogents Trap System is the most complete mosquito solution we offer. Using indoor and outdoor mosquito traps offers full protection by targeting different stages of the mosquito life cycle.
The outdoor mosquito traps BG-Mosquitaire and BG-GAT combine the control of tiger mosquitoes that are seeking a blood meal host and want to bite you with the control of tiger mosquitoes that are looking for a place to lay their eggs. Targeting these different stages of their lifecycle prevents both biting as well as future generations of tiger mosquitoes.
The indoor mosquito trap BG-Home additionally protects you from mosquito bites at home. It particularly targets tiger mosquitoes and optionally other flying pest insects inside the house.

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 BG-Mosquitaire and BG-GAT are to be used outdoors in the 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. Do not place the traps directly on the terrace/patio and not in direct sunlight. However, the traps should not be too hidden, but still visible.
To find the best place for your BG-Home indoor trap, search for a position where mosquitoes enter the house, or a dark corner on the floor or near plants. It is important to make sure that the fan of the trap runs 24 hours a day and especially during the time you are not at home. Do not hide the trap, nor place it too high (not more than 1m above the ground).
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.
How do the traps work together?
The perfect synergy of the Biogents Trap System
Attractive for tiger mosquitoes:
Distribution:
- Asian tiger mosquito: Mediterranean region
- Yellow fever mosquito: subtropical regions
Behavior:
- Aggressive
- Day-active
- Can transmit diseases such as dengue fever
Appearance:
- Small
- Black & white striped
BG-Mosquitaire - Irresistibly attractive
Trap
Air currents and visual cues attract mosquitoes; 24/7 in use
Good positioning
Place the trap in shady areas with vegetation. No sun! No wind!
High mosquito catch rates
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 mimicking convection currents created by a human body
- 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
Recommendation: BG-Booster CO2
If you are mainly bothered by other than tiger mosquitoes, e.g. house or flood water mosquitoes, we recommend to use the BG-Mosquitaire outdoor trap in combination with CO2 using the BG-Booster CO2
BG-Mosquitaire trap

BG-Booster CO2
To upgrade your trap with CO2 and to optimize the CO2 output
CO2 gas bottle
CO2 is the most important attractant for the majority of blood-sucking insects (the gas bottle is not included)
Attractive for all mosquito species
Attractive for tiger mosquitoes:
Distribution:
- Asian tiger mosquito: Mediterranean region
- Yellow fever mosquito: subtropical regions
Behavior:
- Aggressive
- Day-active
- Can transmit diseases such as dengue fever
Appearance:

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
Our unique capture method
no power supply – no chemicals – no attractant needed
This is how it works:
- Tiger mosquitoes that want to lay their eggs are attracted by water (preferably with organic material in it, e.g. a leaf or some blades of grass)
- The mesh provides a barrier between the mosquitoes and the water to prevent them from laying their eggs
- Mosquitoes try to escape through the translucent parts of the trap
- By touching the specially developed sticky cards, they get stuck and die

BG-Home – Your indoor mosquito protection
Trap
Air currents and visual cues attract mosquitoes; 24 /7 in use
Good positioning
Place the trap in dark, quiet corners preferably next to some plants, not higher than 1m above the ground
Optional: UV light on/off
The optional UV light attracts other annoying pest insects indoors (hide it by turning the top part in one direction, or have it showing to attract other pest insects)
Less pest nuisance indoors
Our unique capture method
All Biogents suction traps have one thing in common: the patented counterflow principle
This is how it works:
- The heated surface attracts mosquitoes; the UV light can be on or off to also attract other insects
- The fan generates air currents a) mimicking convection currents created by a human body, and (b) sucking the mosquitoes in the trap.
- The dark appearance of the trap attracts mosquitoes.
- The shutter closes when the trap is not in use.

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).
** Since generally there are less mosquitoes indoors than outdoors, indoors are also less mosquitoes captured.
