Targeting Mosquitoes at the Source: 
KifoBucket®’s Larval Control in Rural Africa

Stopping mosquitoes before they become biting adults is the most effective way to reduce disease. KifoBucket®’s larval control program disrupts the mosquito life cycle at breeding sites – directly reducing populations of malaria, dengue, and other disease-carrying mosquitoes in rural Africa.

Our Proven Larval Control Strategy:
We combine environmental action, safe treatments, and community power:

1. Find: Partnering with communities to identify breeding sites in stagnant water, ditches, ponds, and containers.

2. Eliminate & Modify:

  • Physically removing breeding habitats (draining swamps, filling depressions, clearing discarded tires/containers).
  • Modifying habitats (improving drainage, maintaining irrigation) to prevent water accumulation.

3. Treat: Applying targeted, eco-friendly larvicides like Bti (toxic only to mosquito larvae) where water can’t be removed.

Why This Works for Rural Africa:

  • Prevents Disease at the Source: Reduces adult mosquito populations before they can spread malaria, dengue, etc.
  • Empowers Communities: Training and engaging villagers ensures local ownership and sustainable monitoring.
  • Smarter & Safer: Focused on larvae = less pesticide use than adult spraying. Bti is safe for people, animals, and ecosystems.
  • Solves Rural Challenges: Our model is designed for resource-limited settings – using local knowledge and scalable methods.

4. Beyond Disease Reduction:

  • Communities enjoy less nuisance biting, improved wellbeing, and the pride of leading their own health protection.

5. Sustaining Success:

  • We integrate larval control with community education and maintain strong surveillance to adapt to changing environments. This community-driven approach builds lasting resilience against mosquito-borne diseases.

6. Proven Impact:

  • KifoBucket®’s larval control programs have successfully reduced mosquito-borne disease burdens in rural African communities through dedicated community partnership and precise environmental management.
