Question 1

How does the Biogents AERO TRAP work?

Accepted Answer

The Biogents AERO TRAP was developed specifically to attract and catch mosquitoes outdoors. It combines a distinctive airflow with the insecticide-free Biogents SWEETSCENT, which mimics human body odour. The mosquitoes it attracts are sucked into the catch container and trapped there.

Question 2

How effective is the AERO TRAP?

Accepted Answer

With optimal positioning, the AERO TRAP can help reduce mosquito bites by up to 87 %. Its trapping performance is based on the combination of the distinctive airflow and the scientifically developed Biogents SWEETSCENT.

Question 3

What is the difference compared to the previous BG-Mosquitaire?

Accepted Answer

Compared to the previous BG-Mosquitaire, the AERO TRAP offers a modern design and significantly easier handling. The catch container is compact and larger, can be checked and emptied quickly, and contact with the lure sachet is avoided. In addition, the MyBiogents App automatically notifies you when the lure needs replacing.

Question 4

Is the AERO TRAP easy to install?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Installation of the AERO TRAP has been simplified compared to the BG-Mosquitaire and can be completed in three easy steps.

Question 5

Can I also use the AERO TRAP with CO2?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The AERO TRAP can be upgraded with CO2 using the separately available Biogents CO2 CONTROL SET. CO2 mimics human exhaled breath and makes the trap even more attractive to mosquitoes. For tiger mosquitoes, adding CO2 can increase the catch rate by up to five times.

Question 6

Do I need the MyBiogents App for the AERO TRAP?

Accepted Answer

No. The AERO TRAP also works without the app and can be operated independently without the CO2 option. The MyBiogents App is required if you want to use the Bluetooth-enabled CO2 control of the CO2 CONTROL SET.

Question 7

How durable is the AERO TRAP?

Accepted Answer

The AERO TRAP features particularly robust outdoor cables and a long-lasting catch container. Overall, high-quality materials and a sturdy construction for outdoor use were a priority.

Question 8

Why is the AERO TRAP black?

Accepted Answer

Black is attractive to mosquitoes from a medium distance. At the same time, the black trap can be placed discreetly within vegetation and blends unobtrusively into various garden designs. The proven black-and-white contrast principle on the top has been retained: it guides mosquitoes towards the black centre, where the suction is strongest.

Question 9

Where should I place the AERO TRAP?

Accepted Answer

The right position is crucial for trapping performance. Place the trap on the ground in a shady, rather damp spot sheltered from the wind and close to vegetation. Avoid direct sunlight and strong wind. The trap should also not stand right next to people – a distance of at least 5 metres is recommended. Even a few metres can make a difference to the trapping performance.

Question 10

When should I start using the AERO TRAP?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, you should put the trap into operation as early in the season as possible. We recommend starting once the average temperature is above 15 °C. For maximum effect, the trap should be operated continuously, i.e. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Question 11

What is the difference between the AERO TRAP and other mosquito traps?

Accepted Answer

The performance of the Biogents AERO TRAP is based on a combination of its distinctive airflow, the special trap design and the Biogents SWEETSCENT. According to a comparative study conducted by an independent laboratory in September 2025, the AERO TRAP caught 35 % more mosquitoes than the main competitor tested.
