Seasonal field efficacy of pyriproxyfen autodissemination stations against container‐inhabiting mosquito Aedes albopictus under different habitat conditions
Abstract
Control of the container‐inhabiting mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is difficult using conventional methods due to its selection of cryptic peri‐domestic habitats. We evaluated whether autodissemination stations can deliver sufficient pyriproxyfen to sentinel containers to produce significant pupal mortality in different habitats such as competing oviposition sites, peri‐domestic habitats, junkyards and tire piles. We also tested how far the pesticide could be transferred over a 200‐m range.
