Development of Adult Mosquito Fanless Trap

Abstract
Passive electro-mechanical traps for recognisance of mosquitoes’ menace continued to be advanced with the use of light-emitting diode (LED) as a lure for mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) traps. This work further the advancement of mosquitoes LED trap deploying recently manufactured low energy LED. Tests were conducted to determine the best trapping funnel diameter. The task was situated inside the living region in Lagos State, Nigeria. The number of lured and caught mosquitoes were analysed. In the experiment conducted over five nights; funnel diameter of 12 mm had the highest number of catch with fifty-six (56) mosquitos, followed by 10mm diameter with twenty-five (25) mosquitoes. 14mm diameter captured nineteen (19) mosquitoes, and 8mm diameter attracted ten (10) mosquitoes. Other widths higher than 14mm and lower than 8mm caught zero mosquitoes. The trap did not capture male Anopheles mosquito. The low ratio of damage mosquitoes to identifiable mosquitoes shows that the trap can be compared to the Silva trap and Communicable Disease Center (CDC) traps.
