As shared by The Better India, Prasad Phadke created a life-saving tool to fight mosquitoes. The problem is that diseases like dengue and malaria continue to spread because traditional repellents are expensive and don't stop breeding. The solution is the EcoBioTrap, a biodegradable device that mimics a breeding ground to lure female mosquitoes and kill their larvae using WHO-approved ingredients. The benefit is a massive reduction in mosquitoes without needing electricity, saving lives in crowded areas like Dharavi.
