Millions
have died by dengue and malaria which is caused by mosquito.
The mosquito frequents backyards in search of
containers holding water inside and outside the home. Any item that
holds water for an extended period will provide a mosquito breeding
site.
The dengue mosquito does not fly very far, so if you
get rid of mosquito breeding sites around your home, you will
significantly reduce your risk of being bitten by dengue mosquitoes.
Even this simple act of getting rid of mosquito
breeding water spots can not be achieved for a vast country land,
especially during monsoon period.
I am suggesting here a new idea that can control
mosquito growth by allowing them to lay eggs but to trap the new born
mosquito.
This new and simple technology can be used within a home, office or
in open space like gardens.
If this system can be further modified so that it can
be attached on the lover base of a vehicle, it can cover most of the
area like your garage or company parking space.
The idea is very simple as explained in the diagram.
1.
A funnel is to be fixed over a small water container.
2.
Lover end of the funnel to be kept of 2 mm diameter only.
3.
Container to fill with water as shown in the fig.
If these types of containers are kept in some
isolated places, the mosquito will lay their
eggs over the open surface of water in the funnel. The eggs will go down
to the base of the water container. But the new born mosquito will
remain trapped in the upper space of the container. |
