The all-time popular BugDorm-1 insect cages were first introduced to entomologists at the 20th International Congress of Entomology in 1996. With a modular design for easy cleaning, these cages are perfect for rearing mosquitoes and fruit flies, important vectors of diseases and agricultural pests. Using BugDorm-1 cages allows researchers to study the behavior, lifecycle, and transmission potential of mosquitoes and flies under controlled conditions, which is essential for developing effective pest control and disease prevention strategies.
