Controlling the Asian Tiger Mosquito: Innovative Solutions and Effective Traps

The video discusses the Asian Tiger Mosquito, a vector for several diseases, and the challenges in controlling it. Research by American Biophysics Corporation led to the development of Lurex, an attractant that mimics human skin compounds. Used with the Mosquito Magnet, it effectively traps mosquitoes by releasing CO2 and heat, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides.
