The In2Care® Mosquito Station is made of durable plastic and uses water with an odor 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.

 

In2Care® exploits 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, In2Care® can kill larvae in small and hard-to-find breeding sources. The mosquito also dies within a few days after contact, allowing for only enough time to transport the larvicide and fungus.
