Recently, the NIH asked us to put together a short video for Mosquito Week
about how we're using Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
funding to help control Aedes mosquitoes. Here's the result!
On 4/13/2016, SpringStar convened a panel of experts to speak at a "flash webinar" about tools
available for managing the mosquitoes that spread the Zika virus. The result was
a discussion of current and next-generation mosquito control technologies.

| “The
reasons for the dramatic global emergence of DF/DHF as a major public
health problem are complex and not well understood. However, several
important factors can be identified. 1. First, major global demographic changes have occurred... 2. In most countries the public health infrastructure has deteriorated... 3. Increased travel by airplane provides the ideal mechanism for infected human transport of dengue viruses ... 4. Lastly, effective mosquito control is virtually nonexistent in most dengue-endemic countries. Considerable emphasis in the past has been placed on ultra-low-volume insecticide space sprays for adult mosquito control, a relatively ineffective approach for controlling Aedes aegypti [1]”. |

*The fine print: The Trap-N-Kill™ is subject to EPA pesticide rules which require us to make specific disclaimers: (a) when we say "better" pest control, it does not imply better efficacy than other products, but better for the environment, (b) when we say "uses 90% less pesticide", we mean 90% less than another product currently used for aerial spraying, (c) US Military references indicate the origin of the science - this is not a "militarized" version and we are not suggesting improved efficacy claims because the military invented the product. The product is not endorsed by the US military nor any US military branch that assisted in development, nor is it endorsed by other government agencies involved in supporting and testing the product, such as the Washington Global Health Alliance or the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District.
