MOSQUITOES
Mosquitoes, despite their small size, wield a significant impact on both humans and ecosystems worldwide. These tiny, flying insects belong to the family Culicidae and are known for their piercing mouthparts, which they use to extract blood from their hosts. While male mosquitoes typically feed on nectar and plant juices, females require a blood meal to develop and lay their eggs.
One of the most infamous characteristics of mosquitoes is their role as vectors for disease transmission. They are responsible for spreading a variety of pathogens that cause diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus, West Nile virus, and yellow fever, among others. These diseases pose significant health risks to millions of people around the globe, particularly in regions where mosquitoes thrive in warm and humid climates.

The In2Care® Mosquito Station attracts gravid egg-laying 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 mosquitoes 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 the entire population on the property including adults and larvae.

Insecticide resistance has become a major problem in countries infested by Aedes and Culex mosquitos. Area-wide insecticide fogging is still being used but is showing limited efficacy and causing major impacts on non-target organisms. This necessitates a switch to more sustainable, environmentally friendly vector control. The In2Care® Mosquito Station is the first Station that uses a biological control agent to kill mosquito.
Once the mosquitos are infected with the fungus they may still fly around for a few days but they are less likely to bite and spread disease. Usually it takes up to 2 weeks to see a significant difference in the decrease of a population. Let Frontier Trapper rid your yard and property of disease spreading mosquitos. Protect your family from the itching and annoyance of the bites and the buzzing as they fly around.
