Mosquito Surveillance Buyer’s Guide

Choosing the right mosquito surveillance equipment depends on your target species, collection goal, field conditions, power source, CO2 use, and whether specimens need to remain alive or intact.

Entovate builds traps, aspirators, accessories, and diagnostic tools for mosquito control districts, public health programs, entomology researchers, and field surveillance teams.

Questions to Ask Before Buying

Target species: Are you targeting Culex, Aedes, Anopheles, or general adult mosquito populations?
Collection goal: Do you need live mosquitoes, intact specimens, or general abundance data?
Deployment setting: Will traps run in urban, residential, wetland, agricultural, or remote locations?
Power source: Do you need battery operation, timed operation, or extended runtime?
Attractant: Will you use light, CO2, oviposition infusion, or another lure?
Workflow after collection: Will mosquitoes be identified, pooled, tested, reared, or transferred?
