Modular design, the BugDorm-1 is an ideal rearing and breeding cage for disease vectors and agricultural pests such as mosquitoes and houseflies.  The main features of the BugDorm-1 insect cage include the following:

  • Easy assembly - no duct tape, no tools
  • Easy access through a stockinet sleeve opening
  • Easy observation through the mesh and transparent panels
  • Easy disassembly for storage, cleaning, and parts replacement

BugDorm-1 insect cage is lightweight but sturdy.  One BugDorm-1 can pack into a box as small as L31 x W31 x H9 cm when taken apart.

 CLEANING  The BugDorm-1 insect cages can be hand-washed using diluted detergent and a soft brush.  Cleaning them with a dishwasher is also possible if the cages are filthy.  Note that the cage plastic will warp if the water temperature in the dishwasher exceeds 65°C longer than one minute.  Ensure the washing machine is not set to phases higher than the cage can tolerate.
