Mosqitter is turning its mosquito traps into an AI-powered surveillance network
Mosqitter is turning its mosquito-trapping hardware into an AI-powered surveillance network designed to identify species, monitor populations, and provide earlier warnings of mosquito-borne disease risks.
Mosqitter, a Pennsylvania-based startup, is transforming its mosquito traps into an AI-powered surveillance network to combat the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. The company, founded by Anastasiia Romanova, has developed chemical-free traps that mimic human heat, scent, and breathing to lure and trap female mosquitoes, aiming to reduce mosquito populations and prevent disease transmission.
With over 5,000 devices operating across five continents, Mosqitter is now expanding its technology to an AI-powered monitoring system called Febris, which can identify mosquito species, track population changes, and provide early warnings of emerging disease risks. The company plans to introduce Febris next month, targeting institutional customers like governments, public-health agencies, and airports.
Mosqitter is targeting key markets such as Brazil, the U.S., Greece, India, Ukraine, and Nigeria, with different sales approaches depending on the region. The company is raising a $5 million funding round, with the latest tranche of $4 million focused on developing the Febris Monitoring System, which is expected to generate over $3.5 million in revenue next year.
