Smart Control Method: Leveraging Mosquito Behaviour

The In2Care Mosquito Trap leverages on the typical behaviour of adult female mosquitos to deliver the lavicide that effectively kills both adult mosquitoes and larvae. A water-filled container attracts adult female mosquito when they are ready to lay their eggs. When the mosquito enters the trap, it lands on the floater treated with In2Mix and gets infected with these biocides. It will lay a batch of eggs in the trap, but these will never develop into adult mosquitoes as they are killed by the larvicide in the water.

Like most people, you might be afraid of mosquitoes in Singapore because you do not want to fall ill from the diseases spread through their bites. In particular, the Aedes mosquito which spreads dengue fever through its bite is something that we have been warned against time and again. This is because Singapore’s year-round tropical climate creates the ideal environment for the Aedes mosquito to breed and thrive.

In addition, the rising number of dengue clusters in Singapore has shown just how important it is to protect ourselves from them. While there are a number of do-it-yourself (DIY) mosquito control solutions available, they work better as a short-term measure. Rentokil Singapore is committed to providing professional mosquito control services that effectively prevent mosquitoes and provide long-term protection for you and your loved ones.

On the other hand, the infected adult female is allowed to fly out of the trap to continue its search for new breeding sites. However, it is now carrying the larvicide powder that it will spread to all surrounding breeding sites that it visits.

In this way, female mosquitoes control larval development in surrounding breeding sites up to 400 metre square around the trap. Eventually, the infected adult female mosquito is slowly killed by the larvicide that causes her to be less able to bite. It will die within 7 to 14 days.
