There is provided herein a device for releasing insects from an aerial vehicle, the device comprising: an insect lodging chamber configured to hold insects, the chamber comprising a chamber wall defining an inner volume of the chamber, a chamber inlet, a chamber outlet and a rotating valve associated with the chamber outlet, the rotating valve comprises a plurality of wings configured to rotate around a central longitudinal axis of the rotating valve and thereby to release the insects portion by portion; an insect dispersion unit comprising: a converging air duct comprising an air flow inlet and an air flow outlet, wherein the chamber outlet is connected to a converged section of air duct, such that air flowing from air flow inlet to air flow outlet creates a pressure drop, which induces suction of insects from chamber, through chamber outlet, into air duct and out of the device through air flow outlet; and a controller functionally associated with the rotating valve, for controlling the rate of rotation thereof.
