Qista One XS reduces mosquito nuisance by up to 90%. Selective and toxin-free, the device has no impact on the ecosystem, protecting humans, animals and natural resources.
Technology inspired by life
Qista One XS is based on an approach combining biomimicry and artificial intelligence. The device diffuses recycled CO₂ to imitate human breathing, releases an olfactory lure reproducing the smell of the human body, then captures mosquitoes using MosqiVortex suction technology. This approach helps reduce mosquito populations in real time, without using harmful substances.
A product designed for everyday life
With an optimized format (506 mm high, 193 mm wide and 506 mm long), the device combines discretion and efficiency and is distinguished by a radius of attraction of 60 meters, one of the highest on the market, allowing the protection of large residential areas. This performance is accompanied by autonomy multiplied by ten compared to previous generations. The lightness of its CO₂ cylinder reinforces its ease of use and facilitates its transport, an asset for the European and international deployment of the solution.
