Trap against egg-laying tiger mosquitoes
Biogents BG-GAT
(Gravid
Aedes
Trap) is a low-cost and easy to use tool that was especially developed to help you reduce the Asian tiger
and yellow fever mosquito
population in your backyard. These species are day biters, very aggressive, and can transmit diseases like dengue fever, Zika, and chikungunya.
In comparison to the BG-Mosquitaire trap, it targets a different stage of the mosquitoes: Mosquitoes that have already bitten and are now searching for a place to lay their eggs. Since they are only a small percentage of those that are hostseeking, the BG-GAT catches naturally less mosquitoes than the BG-Mosquitaire.
Please note: For an effective mosquito control, it is very important to remove/empty competitive breeding sources on your property.
The big advantage of the BG-GAT trap version is that it is passive, which means it does not require power or supplemental attractants like CO
2
or chemical lures. This provides great flexibility in deployment and easiness in handling. Previously bloodfed mosquitoes that are targeted by the BG GAT are important to remove from the population. Trapping these females can eliminate 50-100 offspring from the next generation and prevent the potential for disease transmission from virus infected mosquitoes.
The BG-GAT uses water and oviposition cues to attract female Asian tiger and yellow fever mosquitoes that are looking for a place to lay their eggs. It is therefore
important to remove most other breeding sources that are competing with the BG-GAT.
Once in the trap, the mosquitoes are collected on a sticky card and die.
