SpringStar, Inc stepped up their efforts to fight against mosquitoes that transmit Zika. The company’s Mosquito Trap-N-Kill™, the only EPA-registered trap of its type, targets mosquitoes that spread Zika and dengue fever.
According to the company news:
The Zika virus has been linked to birth defects that are affecting thousands of babies in Brazil and is spreading rapidly, according to the World Health Organization. They anticipate with how quickly Zika is spreading that the virus could affect as many as four million people across the Americas. To date, 23 countries are affected by mosquitoes that are spreading the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed 31 travel-related cases in 11 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. There has also been 20 cases U.S. territories, 19 in Puerto Rico and one in the U.S. Virgin Islands. There is no vaccine or treatment for Zika, which like dengue causes mild fever, rash and red eyes but close to 80 percent of people infected have no symptoms.
