In2Care is a company that specializes in innovative mosquito control solutions, including the development of the In2Care Mosquito Trap. This trap utilizes a unique approach to target Aedes mosquitoes, which are vectors for diseases such as Zika, dengue, and chikungunya.
The In2Care Mosquito Trap works by attracting female mosquitoes to lay their eggs in a specially designed container. Once inside, the mosquitoes come into contact with a biological larvicide and a fungus that are harmless to humans but lethal to mosquito larvae. The female mosquito then carries these agents on her body to other breeding sites, inadvertently spreading them to other mosquitoes and larvae in the area. This secondary contamination effectively reduces mosquito populations over time, including those that may be resistant to traditional insecticides.
