Children's skin is a prime target for tiger mosquitoes: it's thinner, warmer, and often exposed during outdoor play. However, daily application of chemical repellents on children raises legitimate health concerns. At LAMI, we have designed a system that shifts protection from the child's skin to the environment. Here's why our approach is a game-changer for families and communities.
Zero Skin Contact: The End of Neurotoxic Products
Most effective repellents contain DEET, IR3535, or Icaridin.
-
Children's Vulnerability: According to Anses, skin absorption in children is greater than in adults. Repeated use of these substances can be irritating, or even neurotoxic at high doses.
-
The LAMI Approach: With our terminal, the child wears nothing on them. Protection is mechanical and environmental. We don't treat the human; we sanitize the play area.
-
Source: The High Council of Public Health (HCSP) recommends prioritizing physical and mechanical barriers for young children to limit exposure to biocides.
Mechanical Safety Designed for Curiosity
A terminal installed in a playground or garden must be "child-proof."
-
No High-Voltage Grid: Unlike electric "Zappers" that present a risk of burns or electric arcs, the LAMI terminal is safe to touch.
-
Protected Turbine: Emmanuel designed the system with fine-mesh protective grids. Even a curious little finger cannot reach the turbine blades.
-
Stability and Robustness: The structure is designed to be fixed or weighted, preventing any tipping during ball games or chases.

GEL CO2: A Healthy and Natural Science
The attractant is often a point of concern for parents.
-
Food-Grade Composition: The GEL CO2 designed by Marie, our co-founder, is based on a natural fermentation process (yeast and sugars). It contains no pesticides, no endocrine disruptors, and emits no unpleasant odor for humans.
-
No Smoke Diffusion: Unlike coils or thermal diffusers that release fine particles into the air breathed by children, LAMI produces no combustion.
Open Source: An Educational Tool for Schools
The LAMI terminal is not just a protection tool; it's also a great educational support for schools and parents.
-
Understanding Nature: Explaining to children how mosquitoes find us (breathing, heat) and how we use biomimicry to trick them is a fascinating biology lesson.
-
Do It Yourself: Building a terminal in a "DIY" workshop with students allows them to explore physics (airflow), chemistry (fermentation), and ecology (selective control without killing bees).
Protecting children also means protecting their environment and their long-term health. By choosing LAMI, you install an invisible but effective barrier that respects their physiology. For a serene playground or a tear-free birthday party, LAMI is the choice of reason and well-being.
