Service Procedure: 

In2Care Mosquito Trap Service Procedure The In2Care Mosquito Auto-Dissemination Trap is an outdoor contamination Station against container breeding and day-biting Aedes mosquitoes, with the goal to reduce the mosquito population to a level that greatly reduces nuisance and the spread of diseases such as Dengue and Zika virus. The product is EPA registered, deploys safe bioactives, and has scientifically validated results.

The desired end point that should be communicated to the customer is much reduced numbers of Aedes mosquitoes, therefore resulting in a much reduced risk of biting and disease transmission. The product needs professional deployment and monthly maintenance, and will not give total elimination of all species of mosquitoes. Proper deployment summary:

1. Assess which mosquito species are present

2. Map your target area & calculate Trap numbers

3. Determine placement location & secure In2Care Traps

4. Assemble & place In2Care Traps

5. Maintain the Traps monthly: reactivate with fresh refills

6. Monitor the Traps

Learn about Wolbachia relative to In2Care Traps:

Wolbachia is a new approach to reduce Dengue transmission based on infecting and releasing mass-reared Aedes aegypti mosquitoes with a Dengue-blocking bacterium. The Wolbachia replacement concept releases (biting) female and male Aedes and does not reduce the total number of mosquitoes. It only causes the mosquitoes to become non-infectious.

A second Wolbachia approach uses male-only releases to suppress the mosquito population. This Wolbachia suppression concept (executed by Verily and MosquitoMate) is very new, more costly and has not yet been tested on large scale or proven to reduce disease transmission.

Wolbachia programs are very costly and have limited scalability since they require mass-rearing facilities and project-based releases. It will be important to use complementing vector control tools (like In2Care Mosquito Traps) to reduce mosquito populations and facilitate smaller and cost-efficient Wolbachia releases, as well as to control non-targets like Aedes albopictus that can also transmit disease.

Eliminate Breeding Sites:

With a total of 85 dengue confirmed cases being reported for January so far, the Health Ministry continues to remind the public to take necessary precaution to keep their surroundings free of any dengue mosquito breeding receptacles.
