Why it made the arsenal.
Biogents makes the traps you see in actual mosquito research papers, and the BG-GAT is their no-electricity option aimed at exactly the tiger mosquitoes (Aedes) that terrorize NYC yards. Same core theory as the AGO — lure a gravid female looking for a nursery, never let her leave — but with a slick two-chamber design that kills without sticky boards if you prefer. Set both units at opposite ends of the yard, keep them watered, and let them grind XP all season. It's the 'set and forget' pick for people who want research-grade gear without a power cord.
+ Power-ups
- Designed and validated by the leading mosquito-trap research company
- Passive: no electricity, CO2, or attractant refills
- Sold as a pair — coverage for front and back of a typical lot
- Targets Aedes species specifically (the daytime ankle-biters)
− Drawbacks
- Less effective against Culex than Aedes
- Slower burn — a population tool, not an instant-relief tool
- Pricier than a DIY or sticky option
