A method and a device (10) for trapping insects which feed on mammalian blood, such as mosquitoes, utilize in combination a chemical attractant (24) and a physical attractant consisting of a dark panel (22), heated to e.g., 30 to 45 degrees Celsius. The chemical attractant may include carbon dioxide, generated for example by action of microorganisms on a fermentable substrate in aqueous medium, or it may be selected from fermenting yeast, yeast extract, peptone, acetone, lactic acid and carbon dioxide. The insects may be killed by adhesive applied onto the panel (22).

A device into which gravid (pregnant) female mosquitos are attracted to deposit their eggs and where both the adult and her offspring are then eliminated. The trap is set in the out-of-doors at the onset of the mosquito breeding season and is replenished by rain water and, by its unique construction, a larvicide within is protected from flushing and photo degradation thereby making it maintenance free throughout the mosquito breeding season. The low cost trap is constructed from biodegradable paperboard and at the end of the mosquito breeding season, decomposes, thereby foreclosing the possibility that the trap will become a breeding incubator.

An insect killing system optimized for mosquitoes uses multiple thermal gradients to simulate the breathing of, and body heat emitted by, animals, including human beings and fowl, to attract insects for subsequent electrocution and / or trapping. Mosquitoes are attracted to a mosquito-killing device for electrocution and / or trapping. Heat is generated within the device such that a heat gradient between an outer surface of the device and the atmosphere surrounding the device is created thereby emulating emission of body heat by an animal. At least one mosquito attractant, such as an aromatic, a pheromone, or moisture, is emitted from the device. And an airflow is created that sucks mosquitoes, which have been attracted to the outside of the device, into the device for electrocution and / or trapping by the device.

A kind of mosquito and fly killer, which at least includes round chassis with motor installed, a lure tray driven by motor and equipped on the round chassis, mosquito and fly collection channel and a collection box that connect with the channel that are both set on the lure tray, featuring that there are at least three movable baffles uniformly and vertically insert on the radial direction of the mentioned lure tray, the bottom of movable baffle is placed on the guide rail of the round chassis that consists of at least one ring loop; The mentioned guide rail is set with at least two parallel ring loops, arranged in the round chassis according to their height and fluctuation. Before the movable baffle which enters the lure tray and at least one mosquito and fly collection plate compose of mosquito and fly collection channel, round and smooth transitional section from low to high is set on the two ring-loop guide rails beneath the movable baffle, when movable baffle moves out from the mosquito and fly collection channel with lure tray, round and smooth transitional section from high to low is set on the two ring-loop guide rails beneath the movable baffle. It has advantages of a simple structure, convenient, reliable and safe in use, green & eco-friendly, energy-saving & highly-effective, felicitous structure, good mosquito and fly killing effect, low production cost, pollution-free, etc.

An insect-trap (200), which is composed of a cover (30) with a fan (40) which blows air inside of the container (20). The airflow created by the fan (40) suction mosquitoes into the container while the airflow that leaves the cover thru the outlet (32) is collecting the aroma from the attractant (80) which is very effective at luring mosquitoes to come closer. The outlet (32) allows air flow and prevents mosquitoes from escaping the trap (200). The container (20) can hold different kinds or a combination of attractants (80).

The invention discloses a method for quickly and effectively transfecting mosquito by using wolbachia. According to the method, an insects ovarian tissue (abundant sources and easiness for obtaining) containing the wolbachia is directly acquired by adopting a vivisection method and is homogenated; and the ovarian tissue is separated from the wolbachia by using a centrifugation method so as to obtain a purified usable wolbachia transfected by embryonic injection. The embryo of the mosquito is injected and transfected by the purified wolbachia through a conventional method; a primary female adult insect (G0) is obtained by egg culture; the obtained primary female adult insect is mated with a wild type male mosquito to generate first generation (G1) mosquito strains; and positive mosquito strains containing the wolbachia are screened from the first generation mosquito strains and become really and successfully-transfected mosquito strains. Therefore, the method for transfecting the mosquito by using the wolbachia is a quick and effective method. The realization of the invention is beneficial to quickly establishing the mosquito strains transfected with the wolbachia and further beneficial to large-scale application of the mosquito strains.
