Why it made the arsenal.
If the BG-GAT is Biogents' quiet passive option, the Mosquitaire is the one you plug in and let run. It pulls air through a funnel using the same BG-Sweetscent lure mosquito researchers trust, imitating the human skin-scent that Aedes and Culex home in on. Bolt on the optional CO₂ booster and it goes from 'good' to weapons-grade, faking the breath plume that makes a female commit. It's a continuously running catcher rather than a slow gravid-trap grind — the pick for someone who wants an always-on machine without stepping up to a finicky propane magnet.
+ Power-ups
- From the leading mosquito-trap research company — validated design
- Continuous active capture, not a slow-burn population tool
- Uses the trusted BG-Sweetscent lure; CO₂ booster optional for a big jump in catch
- Quiet, weatherproof, and lure refills last weeks
− Drawbacks
- Needs an outdoor outlet — it's mains-powered, not passive
- Best results want the add-on CO₂ bottle, an ongoing cost
- Pricier than the passive traps; overkill for a tiny balcony
