Nature controlled by nature
Disrupting mosquito mating by confusing them using their own language.
Animals communicate and navigate by smells. By releasing trace amounts of semiochemicals, we can change their behavior: stoping mosquitoes from reproducing effectively or luring them to traps.
We can apply the same technology to other animals as well.
Semiochemicals, not insecticides
Semiochemicals are signaling compounds that influence how insects interact with each other and their environment. Our pheromone formulations do not kill mosquitoes. They alter mating and host-seeking behavior, reducing the number of biting adults over time.
Because the active ingredients are behavior-modifying rather than toxic, the approach is compatible with beneficial insects, pollinators, and the broader ecology of a site.
Mechanism
- 01
Release
Dispensers emit pheromone across the treatment area.
- 02
Disrupt
Males fail to locate females, reducing successful mating.
- 03
Reduce
Fewer viable eggs lead to lower adult abundance.
- 04
Protect
People experience fewer bites and lower disease risk.
Evidence
≈70%
Approximate reduction in adult mosquito abundance observed with areal mating disruption treatment.
Field observation
0
Toxic insecticidal actives in the formulation. The products rely entirely on behavior-modifying semiochemicals.
Formulation
Months
Slow-release dispensers provide continuous protection across an entire season with minimal service visits.
Duration
Results vary by site, species complex, climate, and deployment density. The whitepaper includes the full study context, methodology summary, and deployment guidance so operators can set appropriate expectations.
