What is DOST Mosquito Ovi/Larvicidal (OL) Trap System?

Is a system used to control the population of the dengue carrying Aedes mosquitoes. It has three important parts: a black container, a small strip of lawanit measuring 1 x 6.5 for mosquitoes to lay their eggs on, and pellets as larvicide. The OL-Traps ovicidal and larvicidal effect prevent the next generation of mosquitoes from reaching adulthood, thus curbing the Aedes mosquito population. Tumbler

HOW THE OL-TRAP WORKS?

The idea is to attract mosquitoes particularly the Aedes aegypti and albopictus (dengue carrier) to lay their eggs on the lawanit paddle. The trap creates optimum conditions for this species to lay its eggs: stagnant, clean, clear water, dark area and damp rough surface.

The eggs will either be trapped in the lawanit paddle or find its way into organic solution, where they are killed before transforming into adults.

Vigorously brush-off into

the solution eggs stuck into the lawanit creases Kill the larva/eggs by pouring hot water into the black tumbler Dispose contents properly by pouring contents on dry ground
