Member - AEDES SYSTEM

Because Aedes mosquitoes that bite you probably come from your house, because despite your efforts against breeding grounds, many “water pools” cannot be destroyed, We created AGLOSTIC®, the innovative filter made of recycled tires that prevents mosquitoes from nesting in gutters, manholes and drains. With more than 50% of the human population exposed to the West Nile, dengue, zika and chikungunya viruses, the fight against “Aedes” mosquitoes is a worldwide health priority. In urban areas, gutters, manholes and drains are prime breeding sites for mosquito larvae. The current solutions such as cleaning operations or the use of insecticides have a limited efficiency in the long term. Destroying the spawning areas created by human activity is the most efficient method. To that effect, we developed and patented AGLOSTIC®, a filter made of recycled tires and a solvent-free binder. AGLOSTIC® allows water to flow but blocks mosquitoes' nesting and prevents green waste from accumulating. An entomological analysis entrusted to the Pasteur Institute showed that the solution was 99% effective against the emergence of adult mosquitoes. Other laboratories have also validated the AGLOSTIC®'s hydrological and mechanical characteristics as well as its durability. AGLOSTIC® combines health and ecology.
