Development and Testing of a Mosquito Attracting, Trapping and Eliminating Device
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Mechatronic Engineering
Abstract
Tackling and getting rid of mosquitoes is quite a tough task especially when you don't have access to expensive commercial machines. Even the marketed sprays & medicines are toxic chemicals and very harmful to health. To solve this problem, an advanced mosquito and insect killer was designed. This mosquito killer machine attracts mosquitoes due to ultraviolet light, temperature sensing and other means, kills them instantly as its metal grid emit high voltage electricity. This mosquito insect killer uses a mosquito high voltage grill to kill mosquitoes, thus making it safe for adults to use and also children under supervision. This project is designed to apply a variety of electronic technologies to current light trap models of mosquito traps to improve their utility and ease of use and their potential to generate valuable, timely data for public health.
