Effective Mosquito Control with the In2Care® Mosquito Station
The In2Care® Mosquito Station, made from durable plastic, is designed to attract egg-laying Aedes and Culex mosquitoes using water with an odor lure. Once mosquitoes enter the station, they come into contact with specially treated gauze near the water surface, which contaminates them with a larvicide and a fungus.
This innovative approach exploits the natural behavior of Aedes and Culex mosquitoes, which prefer to spread their eggs across multiple sites. As they leave the station, contaminated with larvicide on their legs, they inadvertently transport it to various breeding sites around the station, effectively contaminating them.
This process typically takes about three weeks to show results, but the effectiveness is remarkable.
Key Features:
- Durable Plastic Construction: Ensures longevity and reliability.
- Odor Lure: Attracts egg-laying mosquitoes effectively.
- Dual-action Contamination: Combines larvicide and fungus for efficient mosquito control.
- Behavior Exploitation: Targets mosquitoes’ natural egg-laying behavior for widespread impact.
