Mosquitoes in recent years have increased greatly in numbers due to the
rapidly changing climate and rising temperatures. With this change comes
suitable habitats for mosquitoes which are the most efficient killers in
all of the animal kingdom due to the number of death from mosquito-borne
diseases. If we were able to pinpoint the certain areas that mosquitoes
are most attracted to we could in theory slow or even prevent the spread
of mosquitoes. In our project, the research was conducted to find a
correlation between the color and size of the traps to the amount of
mosquitos that are present. With our findings, we were able to conclude
that the bigger the traps, the faster the mosquitoes would be attracted
to that area. We also found that the different traps would hold similar
densities of mosquito larvae per square inch.
