How does it work?
The In2Care® Mosquito Station is made of durable plastic and uses water with an odour lure to attract egg-laying Aedes and Culex mosquitoes. Once inside, mosquitoes contact the specially treated gauze near the water surface and get contaminated with a larvicide and a fungus. We exploit the fact that Aedes and Culex like to divide their eggs over multiple sites; by letting them fly out of the Station whilst carrying larvicide on their legs. They transport the larvicide and contaminate several breeding sites around the Station. 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 that kills her before she can spread disease.
Environmentally friendly solution
Insecticide resistance has become a major problem in countries infested by mosquitos. Area-wide insecticide fogging is still being used but is showing limited efficacy and major impacts on non-target organisms like bees and butterflies. This necessitates a switch to more sustainable, environmentally friendly vector control.
In2Care® Mosquito Stations deploy a small dose of bioactive mixture in an enclosed point-source environment that is specifically attractive to mosquitoes. Only tiny amounts of larvicide will get spread to other breeding sites which is enough to kill mosquito larvae but not enough to cause risk for non-target organisms like fish or mammals. In this way, our Stations offer an effective mosquito control option without drastic use of chemicals in the entire environment.
