AI Summary

A Pennsylvania‑based startup called Mosqitter, employing about 30 people, has developed chemical‑free devices that attract and trap female mosquitoes by replicating human heat, scent and breathing cues. The company notes that rising temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns and global travel are expanding the range of disease‑carrying mosquitoes, with dengue cases doubling from 6.5 million in 2023 to a record 14.6 million in 2024, according to the World Health Organization. Mosqitter argues that addressing the spread of mosquito‑borne diseases requires more than simply killing the insects.
