- Biting insects which carry human diseases are of considerable concern.
- Mosquitoes can carry a variety of different diseases, for example Malaria, Dengue, Dengue hemorrhagic fever and yellow fever.
- dengue fever is a dangerous and debilitating disease, and it's a growing threat to global health worldwide. Particularly, dengue is also the fastest- growing mosquito-borne disease. Since the 1970s, the number of countries experiencing dengue outbreaks has grown from 9 to more than 90. Today, almost 50% of the world's population or 3.0 billion people are at risk. Some 15,000 to 20,000 people are killed every year around the world. Dengue fever occurs in all tropical areas of the world. It is very common in Asia, the Pacific, Australia, Latin America and the Caribbean and is continuing to spread. Dengue is spread by a bite from an infected Aedes spp mosquito. Although it is not usually fatal, dengue fever is an extremely serious disease when misdiagnosed by doctor. Dengue symptoms range from mild flu-like to high fever, rash, severe headache, pain behind the eyes ball, muscle ache and joint pain, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite are also common symptoms.
- fogging method has been employed to control mosquitoes which have been recommended by WHO.
- employing fogging method has given rise to super pesticide resistant mosquito.
- Fogging with malathion in diesel as carrier is not easy to perform and is dependent on multiple factors. Performing fogging process at wrong time when relative humidity is too low leads the fog to be suspended up high in the sky.
- optimum time for fogging process is between 5 to 7 am or between 5 to 7 pm when the environment is calm with slow wind flow of less than 5km/h.
- the fog must stay low near to the ground for at least 20 seconds to ensure 100% kill of the mosquitoes, if the kill is not 100%, this will lead to artificial selection for the chemical resistant strain to be developed in the surrounding environment. In practical situations, the fog only stays for about 3 to 5 seconds.
- the dose of malathion is too low most of the times one can smell diesel instead of malathion smell and this is very common practice in Malaysia.
- WHO protocol is 14L diesel per ha of land, which is a very serious environment issue and causes pollution. Although it is recommended for emergency control only but in Malaysia, many gated community do it routinely and it subsequently causes environmental pollution and creates chemical resistance Aedes spp unknowingly. On top of that, due to cut corner and cost by some contractors and technicians, they use about 1 to 2L of diesel per ha without proper dosed malathion. Consequently, dengue cases and casualties keep on going up every major subsequent outbreak. In the past few decades, especially in tropical countries, including Malaysia major dengue outbreak occurs in every four to eight years cycle.
- Larvicide (Abate®) is added into the potential breeding sites. However, while using larvicide technique it can create serious chemical resistance in the long run. Moreover, the labor cost is too high and the effectiveness is very limited short period. Employing ultra sonic repellent could be done in small scale indoor only. However, most of the independent labs have shown the devices are of limited effects in practice. The C02 trap for the Aedes spp work well. However, the cost of running is very high and is not practical for large scale use for Aedes mosquito control method.
- Utilizing household insecticide products including aerosol, coils, mats and gel has very limited use for indoor night biting mosquito.
- Aedes spp mosquitoes aggressively bite humans in the day time and many people are unaware of this fact.
- Plant base lotion repellent for personal protection works well for a very short duration for about 5 minutes to 15 minutes. It is good for individual protection in places of less number of mosquitoes.
- the cost of running is very high and is not practical for large scale use for Aedes spp mosquito control method.
- Utilizing physical barriers for e.g. mosquito netting, window screen, pesticide impregnating netting and the like are used for Aedes spp mosquito control. This is a wonderful way to stop the mosquito from getting in contact with people, and good for indoor personal protection.
- the COMBI (Communication for behavioral impact) is an integrated marketing approach to social mobilization based on lesson learnt from over 100 years of consumer communication and 50 years of public health communication.

Description
Title: A Mosquito Fatal Station Breeding Trap Technical Field:
Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a mosquito fatal station breeding trap, and more particularly, to a mosquito fatal station breeding trap for use in indoors and/or outdoors for controlling and eliminating mosquitoes.
Background Art:
Biting insects which carry human diseases are of considerable concern. Worldwide, around 150 million people are infected with insect-borne diseases each year, with an annual death toll of 2 to 3 million people, mostly from malaria, in sub- Saharan Africa. Mosquitoes can carry a variety of different diseases, for example Malaria, Dengue, Dengue hemorrhagic fever and yellow fever.
Currently, dengue fever is a dangerous and debilitating disease, and it's a growing threat to global health worldwide. Particularly, dengue is also the fastest- growing mosquito-borne disease. Since the 1970s, the number of countries experiencing dengue outbreaks has grown from 9 to more than 90. Today, almost 50% of the world's population or 3.0 billion people are at risk. Some 15,000 to 20,000 people are killed every year around the world. Dengue fever occurs in all tropical areas of the world. It is very common in Asia, the Pacific, Australia, Latin America and the Caribbean and is continuing to spread. Dengue is spread by a bite from an infected Aedes spp mosquito. Although it is not usually fatal, dengue fever is an extremely serious disease when misdiagnosed by doctor. Dengue symptoms range from mild flu-like to high fever,
rash, severe headache, pain behind the eyes ball, muscle ache and joint pain, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite are also common symptoms.
In the past 50 years, fogging method has been employed to control mosquitoes which have been recommended by WHO. Unfortunately, employing fogging method has given rise to super pesticide resistant mosquito. Fogging with malathion in diesel as carrier is not easy to perform and is dependent on multiple factors. Performing fogging process at wrong time when relative humidity is too low leads the fog to be suspended up high in the sky. However, optimum time for fogging process is between 5 to 7 am or between 5 to 7 pm when the environment is calm with slow wind flow of less than 5km/h. To be effective, the fog must stay low near to the ground for at least 20 seconds to ensure 100% kill of the mosquitoes, if the kill is not 100%, this will lead to artificial selection for the chemical resistant strain to be developed in the surrounding environment. In practical situations, the fog only stays for about 3 to 5 seconds. Moreover, when the dose of malathion is too low most of the times one can smell diesel instead of malathion smell and this is very common practice in Malaysia.
WHO protocol is 14L diesel per ha of land, which is a very serious environment issue and causes pollution. Although it is recommended for emergency control only but in Malaysia, many gated community do it routinely and it subsequently causes environmental pollution and creates chemical resistance Aedes spp unknowingly. On top of that, due to cut corner and cost by some contractors and technicians, they use about 1 to 2L of diesel per ha without proper dosed malathion. Consequently, dengue cases and casualties keep on going up every major subsequent outbreak. In the past
few decades, especially in tropical countries, including Malaysia major dengue outbreak occurs in every four to eight years cycle.
Larvicide (Abate®) is added into the potential breeding sites. However, while using larvicide technique it can create serious chemical resistance in the long run. Moreover, the labor cost is too high and the effectiveness is very limited short period. Employing ultra sonic repellent could be done in small scale indoor only. However, most of the independent labs have shown the devices are of limited effects in practice. The C02 trap for the Aedes spp work well. However, the cost of running is very high and is not practical for large scale use for Aedes mosquito control method.
In other situations biological agent (Bti, predator insect and predator fish) has been used to control Aedes mosquito. However, the cost of running is very high and is not practical for large scale use for Aedes mosquito control method. Utilizing genetically modified male mosquito work well in isolated island or oasis in desert. However, the cost of running is very high and is not practical for large scale use for Aedes spp mosquito control method in an open continent like Malaysia. Moreover, an assumption can be made what if male mosquitoes know where and when to find the breeding site and in time to find the virgin wild female to mate with, as 75% of the female mates only once and would the males know where to find food in the wild and shelter before they could achieve their mission. Utilizing household insecticide products including aerosol, coils, mats and gel has very limited use for indoor night biting mosquito. However, Aedes spp mosquitoes aggressively bite humans in the day time and many people are unaware of this fact. Plant base lotion repellent for personal protection works well for a very short duration for about 5 minutes to 15 minutes. It is good for individual protection
in places of less number of mosquitoes. However, the cost of running is very high and is not practical for large scale use for Aedes spp mosquito control method. Utilizing physical barriers for e.g. mosquito netting, window screen, pesticide impregnating netting and the like are used for Aedes spp mosquito control. This is a wonderful way to stop the mosquito from getting in contact with people, and good for indoor personal protection. However, this is not a proactive measure to reduce the Aedes spp population. The COMBI (Communication for behavioral impact) is an integrated marketing approach to social mobilization based on lesson learnt from over 100 years of consumer communication and 50 years of public health communication. When this COMBI is used for dengue prevention, it focuses on three behavioral impacts which includes to prompt family member to conduct weekly inspection around their house, indoor & outdoor and destroy any potential breeding site, to prompt every community to form the dengue volunteer inspection teams which will go around the community on weekly basis to lead the inspection and clean up all rubbish that potentially serve as the breeding site for mosquito and to prompt every individual to immediate seek medical treatment if suspected they are down with dengue fever. The COMBI is a great plan but unfortunately it is very time consuming, costly and very difficult to implement for long term basis, on top to the fact that, there were always some secret hidden breeding site that no one could locate, even those experienced field inspector, this always lead to less than desirable results and dengue vector is always persistent and never go away.
All the currently available methods in the prior art are mainly for personal protection or for indoor uses only, and none of them proactively reduces the sources of breeding nor are cost effective in nature.
Accordingly, there is an urgent need in the art for a mosquito fatal station breeding trap for use in indoors and/or outdoors for controlling and eliminating mosquitoes.
Accordingly, there remains a need in the art for methods for eliminating 5 mosquitoes which are low in cost to implement, and efficiently eliminates both the adult female and her offspring fast and is environmentally benign, as well as could be implemented immediately and effortlessly.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the liquid formulation is a biologically active compound. The biologically active compound is either juvenile hormone mimic (JHM) or chitin synthesis inhibitor (CSI).
In accordance with embodiment of the present invention, the juvenile hormone mimic is used in the concentration of about 0.005 ppm to about 1000 ppm. Particularly, the juvenile hormone mimics is selected from a group including dayoutong, epofenonane, fenoxycarb, hydroprene, kinoprene, methoprene, pyriproxyfen, triprene, juvenile hormone I, juvenile hormone II, and juvenile hormone III and the like.
In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the chitin synthesis inhibitor (CSI) is used in the concentration of about 0.50 ppm to about 1500 ppm. Particularly, the chitin synthesis inhibitor (CSI) is selected from a group including buprofezin, cyromazine, benzoylphenylurea, bistrifluron, chlorbenzuron, chlorfluazuron, dichlorbenzuron, diflubenzuron, flucycloxuron, flufenoxuron, hexaflumuron, lufenuron, novaluron, noviflumuron, penfluron, teflubenzuron, triflumuron, methoprene and the like.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the absorbent means is a cotton ball.
Particularly, it is well known fact that female mosquitoes need a meal of blood before laying their eggs. However, mosquitoes feed on sweet liquid foods rich in carbohydrate as energy source in between blood meals. Moreover, it is the carbohydrate diet of sweet derived from the nectar of flowers and nectarines' on plant leaves and stems that provide mosquitoes with energy and water, so that the female can fly the distance to seek for their blood meals. After blood meal, the female mosquitoes still need to feed to ensure persistent energy to fly and to find the suitable
location to lay their eggs. Consequently, the mosquito bait composition 140 attract all the hungry and dehydrated adults mosquitoes including male and female as early as they emerge from pupa, especially the first couples of days before they are fully matured to have blood meal. Since nectar meals are extremely scarce in the surrounding areas, the bait composition 140 is the most readily available choice for the mosquitoes. Subsequently, the planting of the mosquito bait at strategic locations in indoor and outdoor, provides a relatively easy and safe way to supplement the control of adult mosquitoes population besides the traditional control method with the household insecticide against mosquitoes indoor and outdoor.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the planting of the mosquito bait can be used especially during emergency when it is necessary to kill the adult female fast, i.e. dengue cases' hot spot area.
In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, the liquid formulation includes a biologically active compound and water.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, the receptacle 105 is covered with a sunlight blocking means from penetrating the receptacle 105. Particularly, the sunlight blocking means is provided by coloring the receptacle 105 from outside. Any dark color which may include black color, red color and the like may be used to color the receptacle 105 from outside to act as sunlight blocking means.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling and eliminating multiple mosquitoes includes monitoring a mosquito fatal station breeding trap for signs of depositing eggs by the multiple mosquitoes 145 inside the receptacle 105. Particularly, the mosquito fatal station breeding trap 100 is installed
indoors and/or outdoors. The method further includes soaking the bait composition 140 onto the absorbent means 135, and placing the absorbent means 135 soaked in the bait composition 140 inside at least one container of multiple containers 130, positioning the multiple containers 130 inside the receptacle 105 and attracting the multiple mosquitoes
> 145 into the station breeding trap 100 by providing clean water in the container means 120 to feed on the bait.
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, multiple station breeding traps 100 are set up at every 5 to 10 meter apart around the community with clean water and juvenile hormone mimic 0.05ppm~1000ppm added in the container
' means 120. In practice, the water used must have optimum pH, mineral content and microbial composition. Such a good environment for Aedes spp female to lay eggs is hard to find in the wild, so they are highly attracted to the traps 100 when they have the urged to lay eggs 72 hours after their blood meals. Generally, Aedes spp does not lay all their eggs in one trap 100 at once, but they will find as many trap 100 as possible to spread their eggs accordingly to maximize the survival chances for their next generations. The female mosquitoes tend to lay their eggs in traps 100 that already has other's females eggs been deposited, which is to increase the cross breeding chances to boosts better gene pool of their future generations. Based on the behaviors of the females, they travel between the multiple traps 100 to pick up the JHM in the water. The primary effect of JHM is to kill pupa stage when the female mosquitoes bring this JHM to the hidden breeding sites at secluded location to lay their remaining eggs. Subsequently, the female mosquitoes cross contaminate most of their hidden breeding sites in the wild unknowingly. The juvenile hormone mimic (JHM) work well at very low
dose as low as 0.05 ppm, and each female mosquito can carry this quantity of JHM easily. Moreover, this very low dose of the juvenile hormone mimic (JHM) would be able to stop the normal development of 70% to 100% of eggs at those wild, hidden location for at least 30 days, when two or three female mosquitoes visit the same wild breeding site after stopping by the trap 100. As the process continues every night with different batches of female mosquitoes, within the short period of about 14 to 21 days, the entire Aedes spp population within the community is possibly be wiped out effortlessly.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, all the eggs laid in the trap 100 will not able to develop into the adult mosquitoes as the water is treated with low level of insect growth regulator (IGR) it is insect specific and safe for the environment as well as all the warm blooded animal. In operation, over the period of about 14 to 21 days, all Aedes spp population within the community is significantly lowered and no more fogging is needed in future. All the chemicals used in the mosquito station trap 100 of the present invention are registered with the respective Pesticide Board, and conform to the WHO safety standard.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the female mosquitoes coming in contact with the insect juvenile hormone mimic (JHM) could cross contaminate their natural breeding sites in the wild when they visit the new hidden place after visiting the trap 100. Consequently, those female mosquitoes indirectly destroy most of the eggs in the wild within the next 14 to 21 days. Moreover, the female mosquitoes themselves also would be sterile coming in contact with the insect hormone. If two or more female mosquitoes visited the same wild breeding site after stopping at
the trap 100, the wild breeding site observes almost 100% retarded development of the pupa stage without able to achieve the adult mosquitoes for at least 30 days.
Therefore, as may be seen, the present invention provides a mosquito management method and traps to work around the behavior of Aedes spp mosquitoes, make use of the mosquito to bring the IGR into their hidden breeding sites that are impossible for anyone to locate them. Particularly, the present invention provides control and management of two major species population of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in the wild more efficiently with minimum chemical uses. Moreover, the present invention is cost effective and keeps Aedes spp population below the threshold level, thus leading to significant lower dengue cases and can save almost 90% of all the current preventive and recovering operational cost. The operational cost may include direct and in-direct suspicious cases cost, un-productive prevention cost, chemical pollution cost, additional labor intensive cost, lost of productivity, family suffering cost, lost of lives cost, medical cost, vector surveillance cost, field inspector cost, vector control cost, and the like. Indirectly, the present invention increases output from the healthy community, increases the household income and protect all the happy families of the general population, free up all the burdens of the local medical resources and health care to focus on other critical illness and provide better care for others and subsequently increase tourism industry in the respective countries, particularly Asia, due to safer destination.
Consequently, the present invention address three major issues which include killing the adult mosquitoes after they feed on the bait, killing all the eggs that females lay inside the station trap and cross contaminate their entire natural breeding site in the
wild effortlessly, which were impossible to be located by man. The present invention lures the Aedes spp population to the mosquito fatal station trap directly. The present invention is significantly low cost, easy to implement instantly, easy to maintain and provides effectively fast results. Moreover, the present invention doesn't cause any environmental pollution, no pesticide being released into the air space, no noise impact, no chemical resistance is anticipated (insect cannot immune to their own juvenile hormone mimic), insect specific, no effect on all the non-target organism. Further, no chemical pollution is caused and significantly reduces the dependence on routine fogging as well as reduces chemical resistance issue for Aedes spp control.
Furthermore, the present invention provides positive results as fast as within 14 to 21 days after implementation; this is especially obvious during dry season where wild breeding sites were dried up. The present invention has the possibility of ending dengue fever threat worldwide and can save a lot of life worldwide which is estimated about 15,000 to about 20,000 casualties each year around the world on top of save a lot of prevention & recovering cost for many countries and increase the productivity output for all the affected countries immediately. There is no requirement to use sophisticated high technology technique nor high cost equipments along with the present invention. The expected results are significantly faster, more effective and long term sustainably to suppress mosquitos' population significantly more effective than regular fogging or larviciding. The present method is very ecologically & environmentally friendly, no noise pollution and no chemical pollution into the air space. Moreover, the cost of using the present invention versus the regular fogging is very low with guaranteed positive results,
and significantly cheaper than any of the currently available conventional mosquitoes control methods.
The mosquito fatal station breeding trap of the present invention can be used anytime all year round for Aedes spp population reduction program. Particularly, one
: single dose of JHM can easily last for about 2 months to about 9 months without any significant lower effectiveness. Particularly, the present invention addresses the issue of impossible to locate all those hidden secret breeding sites of the mosquitoes by the field inspector and subsequently, the Aedes spp female cross contaminate their hidden secret breeding sites in the wild after visiting the fatal station breeding trap.
