ABSTRACT:
A device for the control of mosquito larvae includes a float and a self-contained electrical power source positioned on or within the float. There is a light source extending downwardly from the float and connected to the power source for activation thereof. A walled enclosure depends from the float, which enclosure will be filled with water when the float is placed upon the surface of a body of water. There is a generally 360.degree. circumferential opening generally intermediate the ends of the enclosure which permits the passage of mosquito larvae into the enclosure when attracted by the light source. The opening is located generally adjacent the light source and mosquito larvae attracted by light from the source will swim into the enclosure and then upwardly seeking air and will shortly thereafter expire due to the lack of air within the enclosure.
