Outdoor Mosquito Zappers – Noticeably Fewer Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are more than just annoying, because they significantly limit how much use you get out of your own outdoor space. Anyone setting up an outdoor mosquito trap is not looking for a short-term fix, but for an effective and lasting method to bring down mosquito pressure noticeably over the entire season.

Why It Makes Sense to Get an Outdoor Mosquito Zapper for Your Garden
Anyone looking for an outdoor mosquito zapper wants one thing above all: to finally sit outside again without constantly being bitten. Home remedies, scented candles, or essential oils often don't offer reliable or proven protection against mosquitoes. Mosquito sprays can be quite effective, but they only protect the person wearing them and don't get rid of the mosquitoes in the garden.
The key difference with modern systems like the BG-GAT or AERO TRAP: they target the mosquito population directly, using scientifically developed trapping and control mechanisms. If you're unsure which solution is right for you, you can also check out our trap advisor to find the right mosquito trap for your specific needs.
What does this mean in practice?
• The AERO TRAP (successor model to the BG-Mosquitaire) was specifically developed to reduce tiger mosquitoes and can cut the number of mosquito bites by up to 87 percent
• The AERO TRAP PLUS (successor model to the BG-Mosquitaire CO2) increases catch rates through the use of CO₂ by a significant margin and is effective against a wide variety of mosquito species
• The BG-GAT imitates breeding sites and specifically prevents tiger mosquitoes from reproducing
• Gardens, patios, and outdoor areas become usable again, sustainably
Our mosquito trap combinations have proven particularly effective: while the AERO TRAP actively reduces mosquitoes, the BG-GAT stops the next generation. This approach is based on scientifically studied methods.
How Does an Outdoor Mosquito Zapper Work?
Modern outdoor mosquito zappers from Biogents are based on two complementary principles:
specifically attracting and capturing (tiger) mosquitoes, and interrupting their reproduction. Specially developed mosquito attractants for mosquito traps play a central role here, as they specifically exploit how mosquitoes orient themselves.
AERO TRAP and BG-Mosquitare: Specifically Attracting and Reducing Mosquitoes
The AERO TRAP and BG-Mosquitaire outdoor mosquito traps use a patented trapping principle that mimics human stimuli. This makes the trap appear human enough to mosquitoes to draw them in.
How the system works:
- Imitation of human scents (Biogents SWEETSCENT or BG-Sweetscent)
- An additional light-dark contrast that visually attracts the insects
- Optional: the AERO TRAP PLUS or BG-Mosquitaire with CO₂ as an additional attractant – simulating human breath
- Active suction of mosquitoes using a counter-flow principle

What is the difference between the AERO TRAP and its predecessor, the BG-Mosquitaire?
 | AERO TRAP | BG-Mosquitaire |
|---|---|---|
| Without CO2 | ||
| Target mosquitoes | Tiger mosquitoes | Tiger mosquitoes |
| Coverage | up to 300 m² | up to 300 m² |
| Trapping performance | Up to 87% fewer mosquito bites* | Up to 87% fewer mosquito bites* |
| Attractant | Biogents SWEETSCENT (new holder system) | BG-Sweetscent (classic design) |
| Compatibility | New SWEETSCENT and BG-Sweetscent can both be used | New SWEETSCENT and BG-Sweetscent can both be used |
| With CO2 | ||
| Target mosquitoes | All mosquito species | All mosquito species |
| Coverage | up to 700 m² | up to 700 m² |
| Tiger mosquito catches | Up to 5× higher | Up to 5× higher |
| CO2 upgrade | CO2 CONTROL SET | CO2 CONTROL SET + Compatibility Set |
| Supported CO2 cylinders | 425 g + 5–10 kg | 425 g + 5–10 kg |
| Convenience & Design | ||
| Catch cage | Larger, robust, easier to empty | Previous design |

* Based on a study by Englbrecht et al. (2015), which found an 87% reduction in Aedes albopictus biting pressure at sites treated with Biogents traps compared to untreated sites: “Evaluation of BG-Sentinel Trap as a Management Tool to Reduce Aedes albopictus Nuisance in an Urban Environment in Italy”, Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 31(1), 16–25. DOI: 10.2987/14-6444.1.
The combination with CO₂ significantly increases catch rates and covers a much greater range. Both traps are effective against nearly all mosquito species.
BG-GAT: Stopping Tiger Mosquito Reproduction
The BG-GAT outdoor mosquito trap takes a different, complementary approach:
it specifically prevents tiger mosquitoes from reproducing.
How the BG-GAT works:
- Imitation of a breeding site (water + organic material)
- Attracts egg-laying tiger mosquitoes
- A barrier prevents egg-laying
- Sticky cards catch the mosquitoes as they try to escape
This prevents hundreds of potential offspring and sustainably reduces the population.
Good to know
- The AERO TRAP is especially effective with continuous operation over several weeks
- The BG-GAT requires no power and no attractants
- Both systems are built on scientifically studied trapping principles
- Biogents offers solutions as outdoor mosquito traps, tailored to different environments
Which Areas Are Suitable for an Outdoor Mosquito Zapper?
An outdoor mosquito zapper can be used in many different ways, though the correct placement is key.
Typical use cases:
- Mosquito traps for the patio
→ For relaxed evenings without constantly swatting mosquitoes away
- Mosquito traps in the garden
→ Reduces the overall population in the surrounding area
- Mosquito traps for pastures or large areas
→ Especially relevant for agricultural or expansive areas
- General outdoor areas
→ Ideal for gardens, courtyards, or commercial properties
→ Professional solutions for large properties
Tip: The trap should not be placed directly at the seating area, but at least five meters away from the patio and other seating areas nearby – where mosquitoes originate or tend to gather.
What Makes an Outdoor Mosquito Zapper Good?
Not every outdoor mosquito zapper delivers the same performance. Look out for the following criteria:
- Scientifically proven effectiveness
- Proven trapping technology
- Long-term reduction of the mosquito population
- Used in both research and practice
Products such as those from Biogents, which are based on scientifically proven methods and real-world field studies, offer the greatest benefit in everyday use.

Practical Tips for Maximum Effectiveness
To get the best performance from your mosquito repellent for outdoors:
- Start early (at the start of the season in spring)
- Run it continuously
- Place it strategically (not directly at the seating area)
- Check it regularly
The Right Solution for Fewer Mosquitoes – Your Trap for Outdoor Areas
A high-quality outdoor mosquito zapper is the most effective solution if you want fewer mosquitoes in your garden, long term. Instead of short-term effects, modern systems rely on a scientifically grounded, sustainable reduction of the mosquito population.
With our solutions, you combine two effective approaches:
The AERO TRAP (the new generation of the BG-Mosquitaire) actively reduces biting mosquitoes in the surrounding area – if needed, with CO2 for significantly increased catch performance. In addition, the BG-GAT prevents tiger mosquitoes from reproducing by specifically exploiting their breeding behavior.
The result: fewer mosquitoes, fewer bites, and a noticeably higher quality of life in the garden, on the patio, and in all outdoor areas.
