A team in Waterloo, Ont. has created a device that it says will help in the global fight against the Zika virus.
A solution in the device releases a scent that lures female mosquitos, creating an artificial breeding zone and enticing them to lay eggs. Once the eggs are laid, they are then drained into filters that kill them before hatching.
The team at Maxtech Consumers Products Ltd. has spent seven years developing the device in hopes of international deployment of the product.
