Why it works
Uses thermal heat and BG-Sweetscent scent attractant to mimic a warm-blooded host. No tank, no regulator, no monthly CO₂ cost or logistics. Plug it in and it runs.
Scientifically validated specifically for tiger mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus) and yellow fever mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) — the two species responsible for most daytime biting and DENV/Zika transmission risk in Austin.
Ideal for garages, screened porches, covered patios, pergolas, and carports where CO₂ would disperse too quickly to be effective. Works anywhere airflow is limited enough to concentrate the attractant plume.
In controlled field trials, the BG-Mosquitaire without CO₂ reduced tiger mosquito bites by 87%. Peer-reviewed results, not marketing claims.
If you later want CO₂ capability, the BG-Booster CO₂ Upgrade Set ($119) converts this trap to full CO₂ operation without replacing the unit.

Frequently asked
Why would I choose this over the CO₂ model? +
If your problem is primarily indoors or in a sheltered outdoor space (covered patio, screened porch, garage), the non-CO₂ model is the better choice. CO₂ disperses quickly in open air, reducing effectiveness. In enclosed spaces, heat and scent concentration is sufficient.
Does it target the same mosquitoes as the CO₂ model? +
The non-CO₂ model is optimized for Aedes species (tiger and yellow fever mosquitoes) — the daytime-active biters most common in Austin. The CO₂ model targets all species including Culex (nighttime biters). If you have both problems, consider one of each.
Can I upgrade it to use CO₂ later? +
Yes. The BG-Booster CO₂ Upgrade Set ($119) includes a regulator, CO₂ nozzle, and 16-ft tube. It converts this trap to full CO₂ operation without needing to purchase a new trap unit.
How often do I replace the attractant? +
Each BG-Sweetscent pack lasts up to 2 months. Replacement packs are approximately $19/each or available in 3- and 6-pack bundles from GreenGuard USA or directly from Biogents.
