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
The BugDorm-1 insect cage is lightweight but sturdy. When taken apart, one BugDorm-1 can be packed into a box as small as L31 x W31 x H9 cm.
CLEANING The BugDorm-1 insect cages can be hand-washed using diluted detergent and a soft brush. If the cages are heavily soiled, cleaning them with a dishwasher is also possible. Note that the cage plastic will warp if the water temperature in the dishwasher exceeds 65°C for more than one minute. Ensure the dishwasher is not set to phases higher than the cage can tolerate.
