Biotraps are a just-add-water lethal ovitrap that is simple and inexpensive to deploy. They attract female mosquitoes, and kill them when they try to lay eggs in the standing water. Unlike plastic lethal ovitraps, Biotraps are designed to leak the water out of the trap at the same time the insecticide has worn off, meaning they do not need to be recharged or recollected. They conveniently last up to 4 weeks when they should be replaced or if they are not recollected they will biodegrade in place. This makes them especially useful during outbreaks and are part of a targeted response to disease outbreaks that can include spraying & fogging.
​
Can stop the spread of disease to new people or reduce mosquito populations in an area
Will last up to 4 weeks until it biodegrades and leaks out the water. No recollection needed & no danger of becoming a breeding ground
Female mosquitoes land to lay their eggs and come in contact with insecticide and die
Easy to deploy, just add water
How it works
Any eggs that are laid, are also killed by Biotraps
Targets female mosquito by mimicking the best mosquito breeding ground
