Mosquitoes are among the most dangerous disease vectors, responsible for the transmission of infections such as dengue, malaria, chikungunya, and Zika, which continue to impact public health worldwide. Despite widespread control efforts, many existing mosquito management methods rely heavily on chemical insecticides and repellents. These approaches often raise concerns related to environmental pollution, health risks, and the emergence of insecticide resistance, highlighting the need for safer and more sustainable alternatives. This project focuses on the development of an eco-friendly sticky trap designed to control adult mosquito populations through a physical trapping mechanism rather than chemical toxicity. The trap works by attracting mosquitoes and capturing them on an adhesive surface, thereby reducing their population in the surrounding environment. By targeting adult mosquitoes, the approach aims to interrupt disease transmission in a simple and non-invasive manner. The sticky trap is designed to be safe for humans, animals, and the environment, making it suitable for use in households, public spaces, and community settings. Its low-cost and easy-to-use nature allows for wide accessibility, especially in resource-limited regions where mosquito-borne diseases are most prevalent. The project em-phasises sustainability, scalability, and user safety while maintaining effectiveness in mosquito control. Overall, this work presents a practical and environmentally responsible approach to adult mosquito management. The sticky trap has the potential to complement existing mosquito control strategies and contribute to long-term reduction of mosquito-borne disease risks in both urban and rural communities.
