if you have arrived on this product page, it is because you have decided that it was time to take possession of your terrace or garden!

Mosquitoes are a disaster, it's not a secret:

• They prevent you from taking full advantage of your outdoor spaces, forcing you to stay locked inside at certain times of the day!
• Leave you horrible pimples, which itches you!
• They can transmit diseases! 
• Even your animals are annoyed by these tiny creatures thirsty of fresh blood!

Fortunately, after having tested many solutions, we finally found our happiness! A truly effective mosquito trap designed more than 18 years ago in Germany (all the technical details below and the scientific evidence in the appropriate tab)!

The BG-Mosquitaire comes as a bundle of two products, the trap, and the mosquito attractant (1 BG-Sweetscent included):

This high-catch-rate trap "BG-Mosquitaire" was specifically developed for use against Asian tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus) and yellow fever mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) which are both day-active, very aggressive biters, and potential vectors of diseases such as dengue fever, Zika, and chikungunya. The trap targets those mosquitoes that are actively searching for a host to bite. In many scientific studies it has been shown that the trap catches significantly more tiger mosquitoes than other traps without carbon dioxide.

The trap has been designed to simulate a human being. It features a patented combination of attractive visual signals, and a specially designed mix of artificial skin emanations ("BG Sweetscent" - effective for two months) that are released into the environment through an air plume that mimics convection currents created by a human body.

The BG-Mosquitaire attracts the mosquitoes and captures them with the help of a ventilator before they can reach the patio to bite you. If the trap is correctly positioned and runs continuously throughout the season, it will effectively decrease the mosquito population, and you can enjoy your patio again.

BG-Mosquitaire Features:

• a trap made of sturdy plastic for a sustainable, durable, long-lasting design and construction to be placed in your garden or backyard
• diameter 40 cm to be seen by mosquitoes
• does not require carbon dioxide, propane, butane, or other flammable gases
• does mainly catch mosquitoes and not other insects like butterflies, bees or ladybugs
• requires little care and maintenance
• energy-saving uses approximately 14.7 kilowatt-hours of electricity if run continuously from 1 May to 30 September. At the average U.S. electricity cost of 12 cents per kilowatt-hour, the total cost to run the trap for the entire mosquito season is less than 2 dollars
• safe – UL approved, watertight cable connections
• high capture rates

To put it simply, we use an imitation of artificial human odor designed to last up to two months, which is available in the trap, so by following the recommendations of his placement, and by doing different location tests, you will get impressive catching rates!

The addition of the low-cost, passive BG-GAT trap to the highly effective BG-Mosquitaire suction trap adds another dimension to your control effort: While the BG-Mosquitaire targets mosquitoes that are seeking a bloodmeal-host, the BG-GAT targets mosquitoes that are looking for a place to lay their eggs.

Each egg-laying female that is trapped can eliminate 50-100 offspring from the next generation and prevent the potential for disease transmission from virus-infected mosquitoes. Therefore, the use of two BG-GATs in combination with one high-catch-rate BG-Mosquitaire is the ideal solution for your backyard tiger mosquito control.

BG-GAT (you will get 2 of them):

• low cost
• easy to set up and use
• no power supply and attractant required
• targets mosquitoes that are seeking a place to lay their eggs

The placement of the mosquito trap is an important factor to ensure high catch rates.
Therefore, it is best to test different locations!

Positioning

• The placement of the traps is very important. A humid, shady, and wind-protected location is very attractive to mosquitoes. Also, the visual cues of the traps attract mosquitoes from some distance. Thus, the traps need to be placed in a shady, humid place where it is readily visible but protected from wind and direct rain. There should be a minimum of 12 inches between the top of the trap and any overhanging vegetation.
  
  Effect
  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 for breeding sites, such as flower pots, vases, buckets, water barrels, rain gutters, discarded cups and bottles, and plants that hold small quantities of water.
  
  If the traps are positioned correctly and used continuously throughout the season, they will help to decrease the mosquito population in your backyard

To maximize the control effect, discard or empty all water-holding containers.

Placement of traps diminishes the local mosquito population when

• correctly positioned
• continuously operated (24 hours a day throughout the mosquito season)
• operation begins early in the season

Examples of areas that can be protected by traps

• backyards and gardens
• outdoor cafés and restaurants
• hotel outdoor areas
• campgrounds
• facilities for outdoor sports and recreation

Dos

No sunny location ; No windy areas ; Humidity ; Shrubs ; Shadow

When

The trap should be put out when the average temperature has risen above 15° C (60° F). Above this temperature, adult mosquitoes fly actively. It is best to catch the mosquitoes now, before they have a chance to reproduce and lay their eggs. It is important to make sure that the ventilator of the trap runs 24 hours a day.

Where

The goal is to catch the mosquitoes before they reach you. Therefore, it is important to choose a position near the resting areas of the mosquitoes. During the day, mosquitoes spend their rest periods in shady, wind-protected hedges or shrubs. If you place the trap here, you can catch the mosquitoes before they reach and bite you.

Many bushes form a hollow room on the inside. This is an ideal location for the trap if it provides enough space, both for the air currents and for the visibility of the trap.

Do not place the trap directly on the terrace. If you place the trap in shady places or bushes near the terrace, you will catch the mosquitoes near their resting areas, before they reach the terrace and bite you.

Resting locations

Resting places of mosquitoes can also be locations with higher humidity such as wells, drains, basements, etc. They also like piles of wood where they can hide perfectly.

Breeding areas

Breeding areas like damp biotopes, rain barrels, puddles, or flower pods are good indicators for choosing a position.  However, always take care of choosing a position that is protected from the sun and wind!

Here some further examples for bad (left) and good (right) positioning of the mosquito trap:

To protect your pets from mosquitoes, don’t place the trap directly beside the hutch, but a few meters beside it.

Heavy rainfall

The trap will not be affected by rainfall, yet a sheltered position has positive effects on the catch rate. Naturally sheltered positions are, for example, under trees or shrubs, or any other covered area.

Even though heavy rainfall does not damage the trap, there are negative effects of it that might decrease the catch rate:

• Mosquitoes avoid rain, and prefer sheltered positions. Hence, in sheltered positions the catch rate can be higher.
• Heavy rainfall might disrupt the airflow by clogging the pores of the cover. This causes a reduction in the suction power of the ventilator, and also a reduction of the catch rate. Therefore, ensure that the trap is sheltered from heavy rainfall.

What's the difference between BG-Mosquitaire and BG-Sentinel?

There is no difference concerning the catching rate, but only in the construction. They use the same patented technology and the same electrical components. The BG-Sentinel is our original trap that is designed for scientists and researchers to monitor mosquito populations. It is made out of a light and easily transportable material. The BG-Mosquitaire is designed for Home & Office backyard, patio & terrace.

What's the difference between BG-Mosquitaire and BG-Mosquitaire CO2?

The BG-Mosquitaire (without CO2) only catch tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus, Aedes aegypti). The CO2 versions attract all kinds of species (e.g., Culex). The CO2 version provide a higher catching rate regarding tiger mosquitoes too.
