The In2Care® Mosquito Trap is a revolutionary new system that provides continuous mosquito control while reducing or eliminating the need for spraying.

 

Made of durable plastic, the trap uses water with an odor lure to attract egg-laying Aedes mosquitoes. Once inside, mosquitoes contact the specially treated gauze near the water surface and get contaminated with a larvicide and a fungus. Not only does this prevent the eggs laid in the unit from developing into adult mosquitoes, but also works to control for breeding in and around your property.

​

We exploit the fact that Aedes like to divide their eggs over multiple sites; by letting them fly out of the Trap whilst carrying larvicide on their legs. They transport the larvicide and contaminate several breeding sites around the Trap. In this way, we can kill larvae in small and hard to find breeding sources. The mosquito also gets infected with an insect-specific fungus (non-toxic to humans and pets) that kills her before she can continue to bite or spread disease.
