The Lethal OviTrap

The Lethal OviTrap is an economical, extremely simple and effective method for controlling container-breeding mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti. The method consists of a cup system with an overflow hole and a lethal strip treated with a very small amount of an effective pesticide material. The pesticide chosen has a very low human toxicity, but extremely high activity against target mosquitoes. Lethal Ovitraps placed around homes have been demonstrated to attract and kill significant numbers of mosquitoes.
