  • Israeli tech ready to take on Zika-carrying mosquito

    http://www.israel21c.org/

    While the world seeks a medical intervention, Biofeed’s no-spray green product targets the insects directly.

    The mosquito-borne Zika virus, according to new reports, is even more dangerous than first believed. While better information about prevention has helped slow the rate of infection in some areas, the health community is still urgently searching for a vaccine or drug treatment.

    While the world seeks a medical intervention, Biofeed’s no-spray green product targets the insects directly.

    The mosquito-borne Zika virus, according to new reports, is even more dangerous than first believed. While better information about prevention has helped slow the rate of infection in some areas, the health community is still urgently searching for a vaccine or drug treatment.

    The “green” Israeli company Biofeed, specializing in the development and production of environmentally friendly pesticide solutions since 2005, believes the focus should be on eliminating the primary factor: the mosquito.

  • Insect killer

    Israel US 6708445 B1

    A device for killing flying insects is provided. The device includes a planar textile area arranged for suspension in a vertical plane, provided on one face with a pocket extending over a portion of the area, a closed edge of the pocket being disposed proximate to the center of the area, the pocket having at least one aperture to allow the insertion therethrough of a viscous liquid poisonous to flying insects and having an odor attractive to the insects. The liquid spreads over the major…

  • Insecticidal Composition

    Europe EP 1351567 A1

    An insecticidal composition comprising at least one attractant, at least one insecticide and at least one stabilizer. The insecticidal composition may be used together with a suitable carrier to efficiently control flying insects. The viscous composition after being placed within a suitable carrier interacts with natural occurring humidity thereby releasing a small amount of composition, which diffuses downwards and occupies the entire area of the suitable carrier. Control of flying insects…

    An insecticidal composition comprising at least one attractant, at least one insecticide and at least one stabilizer. The insecticidal composition may be used together with a suitable carrier to efficiently control flying insects. The viscous composition after being placed within a suitable carrier interacts with natural occurring humidity thereby releasing a small amount of composition, which diffuses downwards and occupies the entire area of the suitable carrier. Control of flying insects using the composition together with a suitable carrier is comparable to spraying.
