A biodegradable product, does not harm the environment.






Innovative, safe, non-toxic and effective solution for controlling adult mosquitoes.
The Aedes Mata has a triangular shape that looks like a desk calendar. It can be used inside homes to kill adult mosquitoes. The Aedes Mata is safe, non-toxic, disposable, 100% biodegradable, simple and easy to use. The fungus used in the trap is not harmful to the health of humans or animals, and does not harm the environment. The Startup developed the trap based on scientific foundations from the UENF Insect Pathology group (partnership: Dr. Adriano and Prof. Dr. Richard).


Advantages of our trap.

How it Works
MataAedes uses a fungus to kill adult mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are attracted to the odor of the fungus (which is imperceptible to humans). When they enter the trap, the mosquitoes are infected by the fungus and become sick. Sick mosquitoes stop feeding on blood, biting people, transmitting dengue, Zika and chikungunya, and producing eggs. Mosquitoes die within 48 hours of contact with the fungus.
