Use of Bactimos briquets (B.t.i. formulation) combined with the backswimmer Notonecta irrorata (Hemiptera:Notonectidae) for control of mosquito larvae.
The efficacies of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bactimos briquets) and the backswimmer Notonecta irrorata were evaluated both individually and in combination to control mosquito larvae in plastic containers in Monterrey, Mexico. The combined strategy proved to be the most effective one.
