We believe the best mosquito control is built on proven results. That is why we are excited to share highlights from a recently published study in St. Augustine, Florida where our SIRENIX trap went head to head with the established Autocidal Gravid Ovitrap (AGO).

Why This Matters

Container breeding mosquitoes like Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are not just backyard pests, they are major vectors for diseases like dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. Traditional chemical controls have their limits, but traps that lure and capture egg laying females stop the problem before it spreads.

What Researchers Found

Over the course of 10 weeks, sites with SIRENIX traps saw dramatic reductions in mosquito populations compared to both AGO traps and untreated control sites:

• Up to 86 percent fewer Aedes albopictus

• Over 70 percent fewer Aedes aegypti

• Nearly 60 percent fewer Culex mosquitoes

By contrast, AGO traps reduced populations by much smaller margins, especially for Aedes aegypti which is one of the most dangerous species.

The Takeaway

This study reinforces what we have long believed. SIRENIX traps are a powerful new tool for communities battling mosquitoes. They deliver meaningful, measurable impact in the field, not just in theory.

For mosquito control programs, municipalities, and even backyard users, that means fewer bites, less risk of disease, and a smarter, more sustainable way forward.
