MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521071689 A) filed by Dr. Rajashri Bhagwat Karale on July 28, 2025, for Mosquito Egg And Larvae Destroyer.
Inventor includes Dr. Rajashri Bhagwat Karale.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: MOSQUITO EGG AND LARVAE DESTROYER A mosquito egg and larva destroyer apparatus is disclosed that interrupts the mosquito life cycle by mechanically collecting and eliminating eggs and larvae from breeding water. The apparatus comprises a primary water tank that attracts oviposition, a central outlet with electromagnetic valve, a filter cartridge (50-100 µm mesh) that captures eggs (~0.5 mm) and larvae (1-5 mm), a sealed collection tank preventing secondary breeding, a submersible pump for closed-loop water recycling, and a programmable time valve automating drainage and return cycles at preset intervals (e.g., 12-48 hours). Optional aroma diffuser enhances attraction, and an AC grid may provide supplementary adult control. Field trials across multiple high-density sites demonstrated consistent capture of 18-84 eggs/larvae per inspection cycle under varied temperatures (24-31°C) and humidity (65-89%), confirming efficacy, enablement, and practicality of the chemical-free, automated, scalable design for residential, institutional, and public vector control. The invention offers cost-effective, user-friendly source reduction superior to adult-focused or chemical methods.
