Design-led deterrence, backed by science.

Design-led deterrence, backed by science.

Aurekk designed Trickz as a low-tech, research-led mosquito solution for urban homes and shared environments. Drawing from WHO-backed insights, Trickz uses sugar-based bait and CO₂ mimicry to attract and eliminate mosquitoes — without sprays, zaps, or cleanup. The result: a safe, scalable intervention that merges science with simplicity, proving how thoughtful design can quietly solve high-impact problems.

The Challenge

The Challenge

The Challenge

Rethinking mosquito control through behavior-driven design.

Existing repellents are toxic, high-maintenance, and visually intrusive — often solving the symptoms, not the cause. For urban users, the need was clear: a solution that is safe, affordable, and low-effort. Trickz was designed as a passive, sustainable product that blends into modern spaces while delivering real functional value.

Outcome

A quiet, effective alternative to chemical repellents.

Trickz combines an ATSB (Attractive Toxin Sugar Bait) system with a titanium dioxide coating to simulate human presence — drawing mosquitoes in, feeding them, and eliminating them within hours. Its design features a monthly replaceable bait packets, a 25° auto-lock mechanism for safe placement & a compact, material-conscious form that fits discreetly in any room. Trickz was prototyped, 3D printed, tested with 30+ users, and iterated across multiple design rounds.

Showcased to Apple’s CEO

Trickz was presented to Apple CEO Tim Cook at a curated design showcase, where it was recognized for its innovation, social relevance, and user-centered approach.
