MOSQUITO-FLY TRAPS Flashcards
This method involves humans attracting and collecting mosquitoes landing on their exposed skin
Human Landing Collection
These traps emit CO2 and use a suction dan to capture flying mosquitoes
CO2-Baited Suction Traps
These traps use light to attract insects, including mosquitoes and some flies
Light Traps
These traps target egg-laying female mosquitoes by providing oviposition sites (water-filled containers)
Gravid Traps
These commercially available traps combine CO2 attraction with visual and olfactory cues to attract a wider range of mosquito species
BG-Sentinel and Biogents Traps
These traps use CO2, heat, moisture, and optional attractants to lure and capture
Mosquito Magnet Traps
This method involves collecting mosquito larvae and pupae from their aquatic breeding habitats using nets or dippers
Larval Dipping Technique
These traps provide oviposition sites for egg-laying female mosquitoes, allowing egg collection and identification of mosquito species
