Abstract
A portable, self-sustaining, automatic device for eliminating mosquito larvae operates throughout the entire mosquito breeding season. Mosquitos are lured to lay eggs in the stagnant water contained within a breeding bowl of the device. The subsequent larvae is disposed of by tipping the bowl or uncovering a bottom bowl opening to empty the bowl of water and larvae and kill the larvae in a timed cycle before they become mosquitoes. A water reservoir supplies sufficient water to replenish the bowl throughout the season. The device is solar powered and timed to correspond to mosquito breeding cycles.
Claims9
An automatic self-functioning full season mosquito larvae eradicator device comprising:
- a reservoir tank of water sufficiently large to supply a mosquito larvae eradicator device for a full season of mosquito breeding, the tank further comprising a tank water filter to filter out water purifiers from the water and a chlorine and oxygen reducer added to a full-breeding season supply of water in the tank to assist the water in the tank to become stagnant for mosquito larvae breeding;
- a breeding bowl positioned lower than the reservoir tank to receive water from the reservoir tank, the breeding bowl structured to contain a stagnant pool of water with an open top water surface for allowing mosquitoes to lay eggs on the water surface for producing mosquito larvae in a mosquito breeding cycle;
- a timed control operating device comprising a timed bowl manipulating device having means for emptying the breeding bowl from a first condition for maintaining the water and the mosquito larvae in the bowl to a second condition for emptying the water and the mosquito larvae from the bowl to destroy the mosquito larvae in a timed recurring cycle corresponding to a breeding cycle required for producing the mosquito larvae in the water in the bowl, means for maintaining the bowl in the second empty condition sufficiently long to allow the bowl to dry, means for restoring the bowl to the first condition for receiving a new supply of stagnant water to repeat the mosquito larvae breeding and eradicating cycle;
- a timed water control device associated with the timed bowl manipulating device, the timed water control device comprising a timed control valve between the reservoir tank of water and the breeding bowl for releasing a measured amount of water from the reservoir tank to fill the breeding bowl each time the bowl is the first condition for receiving and maintaining water, the timed water control device further comprising a bowl water filter between the reservoir tank and the breeding bowl for filtering out any further water purifying content of the water from the tank to the bowl to further insure stagnant water in the bowl for attracting mosquitoes to use the water for breeding mosquito larvae;
- at least one solar panel for producing electricity from sunlight to store in at least one power storage device to power the mosquito larvae eradicator device to further enable automatic self-functioning operation of the mosquito breeding device;
- thereby providing an automatic self-functioning full season mosquito larvae eradicator device.
