Building A Better Mosquito Trap — One Scientist Thinks He’s Done It :
With genetic tweak, mosquito population made extinct
A scientist in Australia has come up with an insecticide-free way to control a particularly pesky species of mosquito.
The approach involves two things: deploying a decidedly low-tech mosquito trap called a GAT and getting to know your neighbors.
GAT stands for Gravid Aedes Trap. Aedes is short for Aedes albopictus, known colloquially as the Asian tiger mosquito, which bites aggressively night and day.
