MIT Holding, Inc.: Independent certification and validation of ProVectorTM Completed by Georgia Southern University

(BUSINESS WIRE) - The Georgia Southern University Research and Service Foundation located in Statesboro, GA, advised MIT on November 27, 2008 it had successfully completed its independent Validation and Certification of ProVectorTM Models under contract by MIT, Holding Inc.; portions of the study available on-line at www.mitholdinginc.com.

MIT can now offer for public use the first of the new line of ProVectorTM products developed by Dr. Tom Kollars from MEVLABS, Inc. and Pro Vector, LLC and licensed to MIT. ProVectorTM Bt (patent pending) is an economical and environmentally safe device for killing adult mosquitoes. The parts include a plastic flower with colors, chemical attractants and a refill containing Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bt) biopesticide. One refill lasts from three to six months depending on the size of the mosquito population.

ProVectorTM Bt is unique because it is the first commercially available device to imitate a flower to which adult mosquitoes come to feed on Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bt) pesticide. It was designed with the philosophy of keeping “Green” and made of virtually indestructible plastic which reduces waste and it only allows mosquitoes to feed on it, eliminating the spread of pesticides into the environment. The device includes a flower with color, chemical attractants, and a refill containing Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bt) biopesticide. One refill will last from three to six months depending on the size of the mosquito population.

The active biopesticide Bt, is short for Bacillus thuringiensis, is a bacteria that has been studied by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and found Bt safe enough to be exempt from food residue tolerances, groundwater restrictions, species labeling and special review requirements. Bt has historically been used to treat water sources in order to kill mosquito larvae as they filter in water. However, adult mosquitoes do not live in water and have different feeding habits than larvae. In addition to blood, most female mosquitoes feed on sugar sources for energy and all male mosquitoes use sugar sources. The ProVectorTM imitates the look and taste of flowers in order to trick the adult mosquitoes into eating Bt. Dr. Kollars and his staff have had astonishing results with their ProVectorTM Bt formulation, having a kill rate of over 80% in 24 hours and 100% within a week in the laboratory.

ProVectorTM Bt seeks to achieve low cost and safety by using Bt in a contained manner without spreading it to the environment. MIT Holding is pleased to team with MEVLABS, Inc. and ProVector, LLC to provide the ProVectorTM Bt as another tool in the arsenal of public health officials and pest management professionals in their fight to battle mosquitoes and save lives.
