Aspirator modification for the removal of mosquitoes from tight spaces.
An insect aspirator was modified to remove mosquitoes that entered an animal-baited experimental cage within a cage. The modified aspirator is easy to maneuver inside tight spaces, powerful enough to aspirate mosquitoes but not remove scales or fluorescent marking powders, and will run continuously for at least 45 min.
