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.

Optimal positioning is key to effective mosquito control. For best results, place your trap where mosquitoes rest during the day. These places are characterized by the following factors.

Keep it low

Keep it low

Set the trap close to the ground where mosquitoes fly.

Questions? We Have Answers.

What does Biogents Mosquitaire do?

It targets mosquitoes that are seeking a host and want to bite you.

What is the power consumption of the the Biogents Mosquitaire?

The BG-Mosquitaire trap needs only 5 watts to run.

How do I stop live mosquitoes escaping when changing bags?

Slightly pull the intake funnel out of the trap so that the catch bag is still within the suction current of the fan. Pull the catch bag off the funnel net, and simultaneously tighten the cord of the bag so it is shut. You can find these directions in the instructions manual that is provided in the packaging.

How and when do I change the catch bags of the Biogents Mosquitaire?

We recommend changing bags regularly, at least every time you change the attractant if you use the BG-Sweetscent. A bag that is clogged with captured mosquitoes does not allow the fan to suck properly and makes the trap less effective. The steps for changing the catch bag can be found in the instructions manual that is provided in the packaging.

Do they work for camping?

Biogents mosquito traps can be installed on permanent campsites (outdoor BG-Mosquitaire and BG-GAT) and in campsite accommodation (BG-Home). It is important to choose the right position near mosquito resting areas. In order to increase your catch rate and the range of mosquito species captured, you would need to use an additional attractant with your BG-Mosquitaire, such as CO₂.

Why do I need to keep my trap continuously plugged in?

The BG-Mosquitaire should be plugged in 24/7 to keep the catch rate constant and significantly reduce the mosquito population also when you are not in the garden. Catch them before they bite you! The same applies to the BG-Home.

Can I use the Biogents Mosquitaire inside?

Theoretically you can use the BG-Mosquitaire indoors (without CO₂). But don't forget that the BG-Mosquitaire is designed for outdoor use. Mosquitoes are mostly present outdoors, and therefore we recommend catching mosquitoes outdoors before they enter the house. The BG-Home will help you to catch the few mosquitoes that enter your home.
