The next generation in MOSQUITO CONTROL
Westham's technology and products provide an effective tool in the fight against mosquito-borne diseases as well as nuisance mosquitoes.
Westham introduces a novel mosquito control paradigm with its ATSB® (Attractive Targeted Sugar Bait) solution, which is commercially used in the U.S. and is currently being validated for Malaria control in Africa.
ATSB®
Male and female mosquitoes feed on sugar from plants for energy. ATSB® is exploiting this drive by combining a proprietary sugar attractant (the bait) with a minimal risk toxin (active ingredient). Once ingested, ATSB® acts as a gut toxin killing both males and females and ultimately crashing mosquito populations.
