Choosing Your Mosquito Control Traps
Consider these Factors
Mosquito species and types
All of our traps are engineered to catch Tiger mosquitoes. They are unusually aggressive, bite during the day, and are attracted to our BG-Sweetscent. We highly recommend adding CO2 if you have house or floodwater mosquitoes.
Areas you want to protect
Think about how many mosquito protection zones you want to cover. A protection zone is any area where mosquitoes are active and people spend time outdoors, such as patios, gardens, pools, or shaded seating areas. For most outdoor living spaces, we recommend two Mosquitaire traps placed on opposite sides of the area and at least 15 ft away from people. Add two or more Gravid Aedes Traps (GATs) in mosquito-prone areas to help reduce future mosquito populations.
Environment & conditions
Sun, shade, wind, standing water, trees, and even wide roads can impact mosquito activity. You may need to test different trap placements for a week at a time to find the best catch rates. Try a Google satellite image of your space to help you make a plan.
Types of Mosquitoes
Roughly 200 mosquito species can be found across the United States. While they may look similar, they don't behave the same. Most species fall into three main groups, each with their own habits, biting patterns, and preferred environments. Which type is the nuisance in your space?
House Mosquitoes (Culex)
Night-time biters breeding in stagnant water near homes. Common porch pests and primary U.S. carriers of West Nile virus.
Most Common
Tiger Mosquitoes (Aedes)
Daytime, aggressive biters with white stripes. Prefer small containers and human hosts. Key transmitters of dengue, Zika, chikungunya, yellow fever.
Floodwater Mosquitoes
Emerge rapidly after rains or floods. Eggs hatch in large bursts, creating swarms. Strong biters that can travel long distances.
Tiger Mosquito Distribution & Product Recommendations
All Biogents traps are engineered to target aggressive, day-biting tiger mosquitoes - dominant in many U.S. regions. Adding CO₂ broadens performance to additional mosquito types. Use the map and key below to find the recommended setup for your area.
This map is based on the CDC's best estimated range of Aedes aegypti and albopictus in the contiguous US, 2017.
Why Use Mosquito Traps with CO₂
Traditional methods like sprays or fogging only push mosquitoes away for a short while and may put pets, pollinators, and the environment at risk. The Mosquitaire with Sweetscent and CO₂ takes a smarter approach by recreating the signals mosquitoes use to find people - scent, body currents, and breath. With CO₂ added, the trap attracts a much wider range of mosquito species, boosting catch rates and reducing populations more effectively over time. Insecticide-free and backed by science, it provides safe, long-lasting protection you can count on season after season.
Science-Backed Design
Patented human-scent lure, optimized airflow trap, and steady CO₂ output combine to mimic a real host - boosting attraction and capturing a wider range of mosquito species for reliable relief.
Eco-Friendly & Effective
Smart insecticide-free control that actually works! The trap is safe for your family, pets, pollinators and plants while protecting you from bites and mosquito-borne diseases.
