As we are in the urbanization era, the shift in landscape and infrastructure design on one hand promotes modernization, while on the other hand it might introduce infestation risks. For instance, aesthetics are been built as part of facility design and structure establishment, however, some features are actually common source of mosquito breeding. 

Water fountain or water features can help enhance the overall ambiance of the environment, exuding nature and relaxing mood to end users. Aquatic ponds are also another aesthetic and lifestyle alternative to spruce up a home, work compound, or retail/service centric environment, i.e. recreation club or spa center. Swimming pools are also often used amongst sports and health enthusiast. 

These features and facilities have 1 thing in common - A common breeding source for Aedes Mosquitoes (carrier of both Dengue Fever & Zika virus) if left untreated or managed properly. As it forms a large treatment area, efficiency, efficacy, productivity and adequate coverage has to be ensured, to prevent negligence while optimising the health and safety of the public. 

Acoutistic Larvicide Solution, an environmentally-friendly innovation is available to control immature mosquitoes including pupae and larvae stages. The innovation uses sound transmission released within the water to create rupturing effect of the Dorsal Tracheal Trunk, and damages and traumatizes the surrounding tissues and organs. The affected larvae losses its buoyancy as a result, drowns and sinks. They are unable to pupate, emerge or results in instant death. 

What this means in terms of mosquito control is the reduction of mosquito breeding count, and impaired mobility among adults affected by the solution during its immature stage. Why the innovation is important, besides the rising urbanization, there is also a risk trend of mosquito resistance to pesticides.
