[The attraction of the female urban mosquito Culex pipiens (Diptera, Culicidae) for oviposition by different attractants].
For urban female mosquitoes to lay eggs, the following potential attractants were dark containers, larval feed, ammonia solutions, larval culture medium and hay infusion were tested. The latter was found to be the best attractant since it was the most attractive and cheaper. The combination of the attractants did not enhance their efficiency. It is recommended that egg traps should be used to detect and measure the number of the mosquitos. The possibility of suppressing the quantity of the urban mosquitos by using the method is limited.
