We recommend placing approximately 1 In2Care Traps per 400m2 at shaded vegetated sites where mosquitoes are likely to breed. Open sunlit surface areas can be excluded from the calculation. A typical yard generally requires 2-3 Traps.

It is recommended to replenish the water in the station together with the new refill, every 4 to 6 weeks. However, during dry periods it might be necessary to add water more often. This can be done without removing the lid, by pouring water on top of the station. We recommend to top up to at least 1 liter of water as a minimum amount.

Besides the delayed effect of the In2Care trap, there may be mosquitoes that fly into the In2Care control zone from other areas. This is especially true of Aedes mosquitoes, which can travel over 200 yards to find a blood meal and breeding place. Therefore you will see improved results if neighboring properties also deploy In2Care Mosquito Traps.

If mosquitoes from neighboring properties enter the trap, they will die within 8-10 days and will also spread the growth regulator.

The larvicide in the water of the station works in very low concentrations, less than 0.001 milligram per liter water. The amount of larvicide added to the station water is sufficient to kill all larvae in the station, even with a lot of rain. We also recommend placing the stations in shaded, vegetated areas, where mosquitoes like to breed and no heavy rain input is expected.

Yes, this product is recommended for continuous year-round control and can be used to prevent build-up of Aedes mosquito populations.

Mosquito larvae can survive in extremely small volumes of water, for example inside a discarded bottle cap, and even in certain plants like bromeliads. These reservoirs can be filled even in dry season, during activities such as irrigating plants, and washing of vehicles.

Aedes prefer to breed in the same breeding sites and only a few transported PPF particles will kill 100% of larvae, so we can ensure effective larval control in the Trap vicinity also when there are only a few adult mosquitoes remaining.

The active ingredients in our station are not toxic to birds or mammals. We make use of a biological fungus that is only toxic to insects. The larvicide deployed in the trap specifically targets mosquito larvae and is not toxic to higher organisms in this low concentration. For example, in other products this larvicide has even been approved by WHO for use in drinking water. Contaminated females will only spread tiny amounts of larvicide (a few micrograms) to other artificial small water bodies, which limits any risk for other aquatic organisms and fish.

The container itself is attractive to mosquitos not beneficial insects.

There is no effect on frogs or toads that jump into the trap, as the actives are not toxic against them.

This larvicide is approved by WHO to be used on drinking water and specifically targets mosquito larvae. In the low concentrations used, this product is practically not toxic.

There is no effect on frogs or toads that jump into the trap, as the actives are not toxic against them. We have experienced before that frogs that jumped into the trap wetted the gauze on the floater while trying to jump out (and thereby bumping it against the floater). There is no easy solution to prevent frogs from entering the traps unfortunately. We have designed the opening between the trap lid and container such that we get optimal mosquito entry. If we make this space smaller or add material that can block frogs etc, we will also limit how many mosquitoes will get attracted and enter the trap.
