Catch mosquitoes AFTER they bite and BEFORE they lay eggs

Reduce tiger mosquito reproduction within your backyard to complete your trap system.

The GAT complements the 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 carbon dioxide, 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 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.

Additional information

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.

The Biogents Difference

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.

Worked well at first but even with proper changing the mozzies are back big time

Worked well at first but even with proper changing the mozzies are back big time.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear the traps worked well initially, but we understand how frustrating it is to see mosquito activity increase again despite keeping up with maintenance.

Mosquito populations can fluctuate significantly throughout the season due to rainfall, temperature, and new breeding sites nearby. We recommend continuing to replace the sticky cards regularly, checking that there is sufficient water in each BG-GAT, and keeping the traps in shaded, sheltered areas near vegetation. It’s also worth checking the surrounding property again for any new standing water that may have appeared after rain.

If you’re experiencing a lot of mosquitoes actively biting, we’d also recommend pairing your BG-GATs with a BG-Mosquitaire, ideally with CO₂. The GAT targets females looking to lay eggs, while the Mosquitaire targets mosquitoes searching for a host, so the two approaches complement each other.

They work, but not for small spaces

Three stars because these do catch mosquitos, albeit not that many. The thing is if your yard isn't large it's going to attract so many mosquitos that the space itself is unusable. Our traps (we had two in an approximately 13-foot square yard) created such a mosquito paradise you'd think the Quick-Kill Mosquito Bits were actually some kind of aphrodisiac. Yes, the eggs don't make it, but it doesn't matter if you attract them faster than they can die out. We swapped these for a Mosquitaire system and have seen an appreciable reduction since.

Hi Jane,

Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. We appreciate you giving the BG-GAT a fair try and are glad you've found a setup that works better for your space.

The BG-GAT is designed to attract female mosquitoes that are already in the area and looking for a place to lay eggs, rather than drawing mosquitoes into a property from long distances. That said, in a compact yard, having two GATs within a small area may not be the best approach for your particular mosquito pressure.

We're especially happy to hear that switching to the BG-Mosquitaire has provided a noticeable improvement. It targets host-seeking mosquitoes, making it a better fit when the priority is reducing biting activity in the area where you spend time.

Thank you for sharing your experience, it provides valuable perspective for others with smaller outdoor spaces.

Need to try out different spots

I need to try out bed spots, but I have caught a few. The emplacement of the sticky pad to be more secure could use some design work.

Hi Weston,

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you've already started catching a few mosquitoes with your BG-GAT.

You're absolutely right that placement can make a big difference, and trying a few different locations is often the best way to find the most effective spot. We recommend placing the trap in a shaded, humid, and sheltered area, such as near shrubs, hedges, garden beds, or other places where mosquitoes naturally rest during the day. Avoid direct sunlight and open, windy locations whenever possible.

We're also sorry to hear about your experience with the sticky card. The sticky card should slide securely into the holder with the adhesive surface facing inward toward the center of the trap. If it seems loose, please make sure it is fully inserted into the designated slots and that the holder is assembled correctly. We'd be happy to review your setup if you send us a photo at shop-us@biogents.com, and we can provide additional guidance if needed.

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We appreciate your suggestions and will share them with our product team as we continue to improve the BG-GAT. We hope a few placement adjustments will help you see even better results!

Work

Work well

Hi Ann, we're glad to hear the Sticky Cards are working well for you! Thanks for sharing your positive experience.

No barriers included

It took Biogents over a month to ship the traps and I didn’t receive the barrier nets!!! It’s useless as it is…

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment this has caused.

We completely understand how upsetting it must be to wait over a month for your order, only to discover that the barrier nets were missing from the shipment. We sincerely apologize for this oversight and the inconvenience it has caused.

To make things right, we have already processed a replacement order for the missing barrier nets, and it will be shipped out as soon as possible. You will receive tracking information once the shipment is on its way.

Again, we are very sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this. If there is anything else we can assist with, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I emailed and asked to make sure I was ordering the correct part

I emailed and asked to make sure I was ordering the correct part. I have the 5 gallon bucket traps, which do not seem to be sold any longer. I was able to use 4 or 5 of the sticky cards in the traps, hope it will work.

Hi Glenn,

Thank you for your feedback!

We’re glad you reached out to confirm compatibility before ordering. While the 5-gallon bucket traps are no longer part of our current product lineup, we're happy we could help point you toward a suitable replacement option.

We hope the sticky cards work well in your traps and help continue reducing mosquito populations. If you have any questions about setup or performance, please don’t hesitate to reach out, we’re always happy to help!

Waste of money

Waste of money. I already had buckets with dunks around the yard and for $100 you get two with a little sticky paper? No dunks or extra lure/killer included? Unbelievable cost.

Hi Chad,

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback, and we’re sorry to hear the product did not meet your expectations.

We understand your frustration regarding the cost and included components. The BG-GAT system is designed as a long-term, reusable trap focused on targeting container-breeding mosquitoes, with the sticky cards and attractant working together differently from standard bucket-and-dunk approaches. However, we understand that at first glance it may not have felt like the value matched your expectations.

We’d be happy to help you get the best possible results from the traps. Placement can make a significant difference, and in many cases pairing the GATs with existing mosquito management methods works best as part of a broader control strategy.

If you’d like, feel free to share a bit about your yard setup or how you’re currently using the traps, and we’d be glad to provide recommendations that may help improve effectiveness. Feel free to reach out to shop-us@biogents.com so we can assist you further.

Best regards,
Leah

Location, location, location! Works amazing in the right spot!

Location, location, location! I started out by placing them in different areas around my yard. 24 hours later i checked them all, and quickly learned what locations worked best. So the key is keeping an eye on the traps and moving them around to find where is the best placement! I'm honestly shocked how many mosquitos it caught in just 1 day!

Thank you for sharing this, what a great insight!

You’re absolutely right: location makes all the difference, and your approach of testing different spots is exactly what we recommend. It’s great to hear how quickly you were able to identify the most effective placement and see such strong results in just 24 hours.

We really appreciate you sharing your experience, it’s incredibly helpful for others getting started. Wishing you continued success and many more mosquito-free days!

If you don’t mind, we’d love for you to share a photo/video or details of your current setup and it's placement. With your permission, we’d be happy to feature it as a recommendation to help other customers get the best results too. As a token of our appreciation, we’ll gladly send you a free BG-Sweetscent!

Works great!

These traps work great. The company is very helpful with advice & support. Would highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation! We're thrilled to hear the traps are working well for you and that you've had a positive experience with our support team. If you ever need anything or have questions down the line, we’re always here to help. Happy mosquito-free days ahead! ✨

Very disappointing

We have had it out for quite some time and havent caught one single mosquito. Not one. Complete waste of money and I bought extra sticky cards, which were also a waste of money.

Unintended subscription

This is a great product but last time I bought it they signed me up for a subscription that I did not want. I assume there was some pre-checked box on the order form to start a subscription. I prefer that companies ask me if I want a subscription instead of making me refuse a subscription.

Not worth the money

Does not catch any mosquitoes

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience with our BG-GAT2 Outdoor Tiger Mosquito Traps Bundle. Our traps are designed to effectively attract and catch mosquitoes, so we are disappointed to hear that this did not work for you. We would be happy to assist you further and see if there are any troubleshooting steps we can take to improve the performance of the traps. Please feel free to reach out to our customer service team for assistance. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to make things right for you.

Works well to eliminate flies as well as mosquitoes

Last year was the first year that we used the mosquito traps. We did not use the mosquito bits to help kill the larvae, which was a big mistake. This year we are using the Quick-Kill Mosquito Bits to kill the larvae and seeing a big, big difference. I’m happy now that we are doing it correctly. We are not seeing as many mosquitoes as last year.

Seems to be trapping some mosquitoes. I appreciate its passive electricity-free design. Unfortunately it's so moist around my house, there's plenty of other areas for tiger mosquitoes to breed and not a ton of them end up in my traps...
