TL;DR Summary

Soneva Fushi, a resort in the Maldives, has successfully reduced the mosquito population on its private island by over 98% using environmentally friendly mosquito traps developed by Biogents. The traps mimic human scents and breath to attract and contain mosquitoes, resulting in a significant decrease in the pests. The resort has also educated staff on mosquito ecology and implemented measures to eliminate breeding grounds. The use of these traps has not only improved the vacation experience for guests but has also led to a resurgence of native insects and increased biodiversity on the island. Soneva aims to be the first mosquito-free island in the Maldives and has provided traps to the country's capital and other resorts to encourage similar initiatives.
