Fatal Attraction
Benefits:
-
SIT targets specific mosquito species without harming beneficial insects and the environment.
-
The mosquitos cannot develop resistance, as they do with chemical insecticides.
-
It achieves long-term population suppression.
-
Significantly reduces reproduction.
-
Reduces reliance on harmful chemicals
The Current Limitation: Cost and Complexity
-
Rearing, sterilization, sorting, packaging and releasing sterile mosquitoes require significant resources.
-
Traditional SIT methods are labor-intensive and costly, limiting large-scale adoption.
Our Solution
-
Senecio Robotics automates key aspects of SIT with an AI based robotic system.
-
Our robots efficiently identify, sort and pack only male mosquitoes for sterilization and release.
-
This greatly reduces labour costs and makes SIT a cost-competitive alternative to chemical insecticides.
-
Enables large-scale deployment of SIT for effective mosquito control programs.
The Technology
-
Robotic conveyor for gentle mosquito handling using unique patented methodology
-
AI deep learning for real-time mosquito identification based on subtle anatomical differences.
-
High-throughput processing for large-scale mosquito sorting and packaging
End-to-End System
-
Turn-key robotic solution from rearing to dispersing on land or by air.
-
We provide a cost-effective path for global SIT implementation.
Client Testimonials
Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) is the gold standard when eliminating local mosquito populations:
-
It disrupts mosquito breeding by releasing sterile males, who mate with local females producing no progeny.
-
Male mosquitoes do not bite or spread disease
-
Females mate once in their lifetime, so an abundance of sterile males significantly reduces reproduction.
