9. This product is an outdoor unit, measuring only 25 cm × 20 cm × 25 cm and weighing 1.5 kg. It is installed near septic tanks and traps and kills mosquitoes at the source itself, away from the homes. The product is placed so as to have direct sunlight hitting the dome of the device.
10. The basic components of the device include a polymer based base housing, a transparent dome shaped “solar furnace” with two side wings to lead and collect the dead mosquitoes at the bottom, inner fine mesh layers, a central conical channel with trap hole, adapter system for the biogas inlet tube, control valve to calibrate the bio-gas and bio-gas exhaust tube.
11. Bio-gas from the septic tank flows through the metered gas inlet tube into the base of the housing from one end. This smell attracts the mosquitoes, which come into the base housing through the circular inlet provided in the base housing. They see the diffused sunlight coming out of the top dome and go upwards to investigate the source. The mosquitoes move up through the trap hole into the conical channel to reach the dome shaped roof area, which is actually the solar furnace.

About the organization :
Mathews K Mathew (45) has come up with a very interesting device- the solar mosquito trapper cum destroyer. This device makes use of the smell from the septic tank to attract the mosquitoes. Once the mosquitoes get trapped inside the device, the heat built up inside the device, as a result of direct sunlight exposure, kills them.Mathews K Mathew, alias Mathews Kaitholil, hails from Kalaketty in Kottayam district, Kerala. Since childhood and schooldays, he has been a keen lover of nature and built and spent many busy afternoons developing traps to capture rodents and small animals, making wooden toys for his friends and designing firecrackers fixed to arrows, which would explode on impact and drive away birds from picking on the harvest in farms.  After his final year of graduation, he spent more than a decade developing and refining an effective product for trapping and killing mosquitoes. Currently, he is the managing partner of the firm, Kine Technologies and Research India, based at Kanjirapally, Kottayam. Along with his two partners, his firm is involved in design, production and sale of solar mosquito destroyer. It is apt that this innovation has been done in Kottayam as it is the first town in India selected by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India to be transformed as an Eco City. It is a town located in central Kerala and is an important trading center of spices and commercial crops, especially rubber. It is famous for its panoramic backwater stretches, lush paddy fields, and highlands. Mathew’s grandfather and uncles had migrated to Kottayam some 100 years ago and had started the cultivation of rubber, coffee, coconut, pepper and other cash crops. His father, K J Mathew was also a farmer. His family members believe that Mathew has inherited his innovative streak from his grandfather who was versatile and had built all his household furniture, agricultural implements and contraptions to collect honeybee and modified and serviced all equipment.
