Mosquito Control

The novel mass trapping approach against Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti uses the com-bination of two diff erent, highly eff ective trap types that target adults of diff erent stages.

Fight the Tiger Mosquito

with Biogents‘ Perfect Trap Combination for Large-Scale Vector Control

Deploy Biogents „2 + 1 package“ to each household:

2 x BG-GATs Continuously trapping gravid mosquitoes

+

1 x BG-Suction trapContinuously trapping host-seeking mosquitoes

Continous use leads to

• increasing vector mortality• reduction of human biting rates • reduction of disease transmission

Ideal for large-scale vector control programs due to

• cost eff ectiveness• applicability at household level• user-friendliness• eco friendliness and sustainablility; no toxic substances are used, no induction of

insecticide resistance

BG-GAT traps:

• targeting gravid Aedes adults• passive trap• user-friendly• low costs due to its simple design and low maintenance• placement: Aedes aegypti: outdoors, Aedes albopictus:

outdoors

BG-Suction Trap

• targeting host-seeking females• the BG-Suction trap is a BG-Sentinel-type trap using the

same patented technology, but designed for continous indoor operation

• smaller, sturdy design, silent and less expensive to purchase and operate (energy consumption reduced by half to 1.5 W)

• trap collects high numbers of both vectors (Aedes albopic-tus and Aedes aegypti,) and nuisance mosquitoes (Culex quinquefasciatus).

• user satisfaction is usually high due to the visual feedback of collected mosquitoes

• placement: Aedes aegypti: indoors, Aedes albopictus: out-doors (with optional rain shield)

Biogents suction traps are proven to reduce mosquito biting rates

Example: A study in Cesena, Italy shows the reduction of Aedes albopictus human landing rates through the use of Biogents mosquito traps1
