ABSTRACT:
A device for the control of mosquito larvae includes a float with a self-contained power source associated with the float. There is a light source which extends downwardly from the float and is connected to the power source for activation thereof. A walled enclosure depends from the float, which walled enclosure will be filled with water when the float is placed upon the surface of a body of water. The light source is positioned within the enclosure and is directionalized toward the exterior thereof generally parallel to the water surface. There are openings in the enclosure beneath the water surface and in alignment with the light source for the passage of mosquito larvae into the enclosure when attracted by light from the source. The mosquito larvae so attracted by light from the source will swim into the enclosure, through the opening, seeking air and will shortly expire due to the lack of air within the enclosure.
