BAYONNE, N.J. – AP&G announced that the Catchmaster Ovi-Catch Mosquito Trap has received the Federal Lab Consortium Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer. These awards, which have been given for the past 30 years, recognize successful partnerships between a federal lab, in this case the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and an industry partner, AP&G, in making inventions into useful products, with demonstrated success.
The Federal Lab Consortium Awards are ranked as some of the most prestigious honors in the technology transfer field and are given as a symbol of well-deserved recognition for phenomenal technological efforts.
The Ovi-Catch Mosquito Trap uses mosquitoes’ breeding habits against them. The trap is designed to mimic mosquito breeding sites, particularly for some of the most invasive mosquito species known as “container breeders”.
