Biogents Mosquitaire Outdoor Mosquito Trap for Biting Mosquitoes

I moved from WA to AZ, and couldn't figure out why my UV bug zapper and octenol wouldn't reduce the number of mosquitos in my yard. In WA the zapper worked perfectly catching upwards of 40+ mosquitos per night, but in AZ it would only attract moths. Last summer we had a monsoon that created a breading ground for mosquitoes in the desert. I searched until I realized that it's not the same mosquito in AZ. I put out the Biogents trap and in less than a week it made an unbelievable difference. Before, I couldn't go outside for 5 min without being bit multiple times by the insanely aggressive Asian Tiger Mosquito. After 5 days of having the Biogents trap out, I put on a pair of shorts and went into the back yard offering myself up as a biting buffet - I needed to know if it worked, or if I should send it back. A month prior to putting it out, I couldn't go outside onto the patio or into the garden areas without being swarmed by relentless mosquitos that would bite me over and over again. Yesterday, I gardened for 2 hours around my entire back yard and did not get bit a single time. This device is priced very high, but after experiencing a bite free day in the yard I must say it's worth it if you are a mosquito magnet like me. I put the traps out as soon as the temps rise to 55 degrees, so that I can reduce the population as they emerge and start breeding. I have 4 traps around my home.

I hesitated to pay this much for a mosquito trap, but I had faith that, since it was aimed at the tiger mosquitos specifically, and had been studied in a peer-reviewed journal for pest vector control, it must be the Real Deal. And, if it works to capture a lot of mosquitos in my yard (and my kids get very bad reactions to these tiger mosquito bites), it would be worth it. I had faith, even, that it would work. In the past month (August - Sept), I've kept it running non-stop, day and night, and tried it in several locations in my backyard – near the heavier plant overgrowth, near the vegetable garden, near the lounge chairs by the pool where we tend to get bitten – and, though I check the trap almost every day, I usually find no insects besides one or two small moths, and, less often, maybe one mosquito. And yet, we are still being stalked by these aggressive little buggers, which leave pancake-sized skin reactions on my young children. Today I dumped out maybe a scant tablespoon of dead flying insect bodies from the past month, and it was pretty much all tiny moths. I put the trap back together carefully. I did a few more tasks in the backyard over the next half hour, and had to go inside because I was getting buzzed by skeeters, and realized that I had been bitten on my lower legs and the itching was setting in. So, we still have plentiful and active Asian tiger mosquitos, but this pricey gadget is not catching them. I regret the purchase, and do not recommend this product.

I have tried everything to get rid of Asian Tiger Mosquitoes in my yard in Southern California but nothing worked until I decided to purchase this Biogents Mosquito Trap! Yes it’s expensive but it really does work! I also have the Dunks to keep them from breading new mosquitoes! I bought my first Biogents Trap 3 years ago and bought 2 more over the last 2 years. The picture shows about 50 Tiger Mosquitoes killed per week in the first summer’s use. Along with getting rid of the mosquitoes larva with the Dunks I find maybe 3 or 4 dead mosquitoes each week! I rarely get bit anymore and love working in my backyard again!!!! Update! After relocating my traps into more sheltered area and filled a water bucket with water mixed with some compost and Dunks to kill mosquito larva, I think that brought more mosquitos to law eggs and the scent got them to go into the Biogents Trap! My killed Asian Mosquitos was increased to over 500! Don’t want to jinx me but haven’t seen any mosquitos in 2 weeks, now July 4th!

it attracts some mosquitoes. However I have the trap on the patio and it still swarms with mosquitoes. I am not sure if its worth the investment

I currently own 3 of these and am thinking about getting a couple more. Put simply, these things do catch mosquitoes, but I am not completely convinced that they are catching enough to make a big difference in the horrible mosquito problem I have at my house outside of Houston, Texas. On the plus side, they are easy to set up, have long power cords, can be checked regularly to prove whether or not they are working, don't kill a lot of other insects, and can be baited with many different mosquito lures. That said, they are pretty expensive for what is essentially a fan attached to a box (be sure to buy them on sale - don't pay $200!), and even with three of them, I still feel like my mosquito problem is out of control. But even with those issues, I'm convinced that they are working and are probably helping, so I do recommend them and might even look into getting the CO2 attachment to see if that really makes a big difference.

This trap system seemed expensive at first. It's basically a plastic bucket with a fan and a mosquito lure packet. However, when properly placed, it is extremely effective. Look at the video. This is the catch during a three-week period in late summer. Location is the key. I first located the trap in an area where there was a bit of a breeze but was shaded and near bushes. It caught very few mosquitos. I moved it to a shaded, windless location near a large bush and up against the house. The video shows the results. I have two of these traps. The other is in a similar area, but not near the house. It has the CO2 attachment on it. It is just as effective, but not more so. CO2 cylinders in our area are $40.00 +/- for a 20lb. cylinder. Depending on how much you open the cylinder, they last two weeks to two months. Overall, I would estimate it has reduced our mosquito population by 95%. If you can afford the cost, they do work.

This is a unique mosquito trap that’s shown great early results. I love that it’s eco-friendly, easy to set up, and low-maintenance. It is definitely more expensive upfront (both the device and ongoing CO₂ refills) compared to chemical treatments, but it’s worth it for being environmentally friendly and safe for kids and pets. We’ve noticed a definite decrease in mosquitoes in our backyard, which borders a wetland area. In past seasons, chemical sprays only worked for a few days and were harmful to frogs, lizards, and other wildlife. Very happy with the results so far—just curious to see how well the plastic holds up outdoors over time.

I really wanted this to work. I had it running all summer, day and night. I kept it loaded with their recommended scent and moved it occasionally to try a "better" spot. Nothing. It did catch small flying insects that randomly wandered over it, but the Asian tiger mosquito that it is supposed to be great at drawing in and catching, well...it just didn't work. A very expensive lesson. The only thing I can say for all the positive reviews is that if they were coming from a small single known location you might be able to set it up right by that. The fan does pull in small flying insect that get too close, so???
