New Field Test Confirms Leaf Defier’s Effectiveness in Mosquito Vector ControlMOONACHIE, NEW JERSEY (April, 2010) – A new field test performed at Bientco, a leading national biological and entomological firm based in Gainesville, Florida recently confirmed the results of a previous laboratory test that demonstrated the ability of the Leaf Defier® family of products to help prevent mosquitoes from breeding in the free-standing water of clogged gutter systems.“Once again, these findings show that Leaf Defier is an ideal method for changing conducive conditions away from pests and toward home owners as well as facility managers,” says Tim Croll. “This is achieved through the system’s flexible, mesh inserts, which allow water and fine particulates to flow freely through gutters while keeping leaves and other debris out. “As a result, all forms of pests ranging from mosquitoes, ants, termites and roaches to spiders, rats and birds are kept from breeding in the water of clogged gutters or feeding on trapped seeds, acorns and other sources of food,” added Croll. Conducted under the supervision of Dr. Eugene J. Gerberg, a world-renowned consulting entomologist, the latest Leaf Defier field test was performed under controlled conditions with two gutter systems placed outside in shaded areas. After a five week period, the system protected by Leaf Defier showed no signs of breeding mosquitoes, while the unprotected gutter was definitely infected with live larvae and pupae of Aedes albopictus. This test also confirmed the previous findings of Bientco, which performed a similar study in laboratory conditions earlier this year on two sections of gutter that were sprinkled with approximately 30 eggs of Aedes aegypti and doused with water. After 14 days, only the gutter protected by Leaf Defier was free of larvae and pupae. As a result of these tests and the input of its nationwide network of dealers and distributors, Monzi now certifies its Leaf Defier® family of products as a proven mosquito vector control method for gutters.
