A low-cost, non-microcontroller based device is proposed to lower mosquito populations in delimited and slum areas, hence preventing the transmission of diseases including dengue, malaria, and the Zika virus., particularly in metropolitan areas with high population densities and poor access. Conventional approaches to controlling mosquitoes, such as chemical insecticides, larvicides, and adulticide sprays, frequently have drawbacks, including negative effects on the environment, expensive prices, and inconsistent effectiveness. In order to tackle these problems, An affordable, non-microcontroller based device has been deveped that is intended to be used in low-resource environments. This device uses a combination of neutralizing and enticing methods to try and drastically reduce mosquito populations. Because of its straightforward and durable design, which makes building and maintenance simple, it may be deployed in vulnerable communities by governmental and non-governmental organizations alike.
