Reduce tiger mosquito reproduction with the BG-GAT (Gravid Aedes Trap), a low-cost, non-electric, and easy to use outdoor tiger mosquito trap. It complements the BG-Mosquitaire mosquito trap by targeting mosquitoes that have already bitten and are now searching for a place to lay their eggs. By imitating a breeding site, the traps help to stop future generations of tiger mosquitoes by catching the females before they lay and hatch their eggs. This sustainable trap works without power, insecticides or CO2, and it has been tested and proven effective worldwide.

Placement & Usage

For maximum catch rates, the correct placement of the trap is essential


In order to get the highest catch rates, test different locations.
The BG-GAT mosquito trap is to be used outdoors in the garden. Place the trap 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 trap should not be too hidden, but still visible. Do not place the trap 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 flower pots, vases, buckets, water barrels, rain gutters, discarded cups and bottles, and plants that hold small quantities of water.

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.

FAQs

What does GAT mean?

GAT stands for Gravid Aedes Trap, specifically designed to target egg-laying female Aedes mosquitoes, including Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito) and other mosquito species. Unlike bug zappers or chemical repellent products, this passive trap works at night and during the day by attracting egg-laying mosquitoes seeking breeding areas without using attractant or BG-Sweetscent.

What does BG-GAT do for mosquito control?

It targets tiger mosquitoes that are looking for a place to lay their eggs. Each egg-laying female that is trapped can eliminate 50-100 offspring (mosquito larvae) from the next generation and prevent potential disease transmission from virus-infected mosquitoes. Using Biogents mosquito traps and BG-GAT, you can definitely control the mosquito numbers at your house and outdoor spaces.

Does the BG-GAT require power consumption?

The BG-GAT tiger mosquito trap does not need any electrical power at all.

Where do they lay their eggs? And how many do they lay?

Each female mosquito lays between 30 and 300 eggs. Culex lays their eggs in "pods" on the surface of the water. Tiger mosquitoes lay their eggs on a moist substrate at the water's edge. Enhance your mosquito solutions and eliminate breeding sites through the following: 

  • Empty or completely cover rain barrels and bird baths
  • Remove old tires
  • Empty plant saucers, buckets, and other water-holding containers
  • Keep rain gutters clear

These strategies prevent mosquito bites in your yard, garden, and home by reducing standing water where larvae develop.

How does the BG-GAT trap prevent mosquitoes from escaping?

The BG-GAT uses sticky cards that prevent captured small flying insects from getting out. Once mosquitoes enter through the black funnel seeking a host to feed on or a place to produce eggs, they become trapped, ensuring a high catch rate without requiring electricity or direct sunlight exposure.

When is the best time to use the BG-GAT trap?

The BG-GAT should be used throughout the mosquito season, especially during summer when tiger mosquito populations peak.
