Figure 2

A prototype of a passive outdoor host seeking device (POHD). The designed POHD is made up of software and hardware components. The software components included (a) a bottle of water inside black cotton sack kept under solar power and (b) a bottle of water with nylon strips of attractants and a metal frame surrounded with electrostatic bendiocarb-treated or bendiocarb-untreated netting. The hardware component includes (c) the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer cover with two holes on sides, covered on top or bottom to protect the software components of the device.
