Abstract
The purpose of the research is aimed at the development of a method to control basement mosquitoes in residential premises and basements of cities and towns without use of insecticides.
Materials and methods. The materials that contributed to the development of a method to control Culex pipiens pipiens f. molestus basement mosquitoes in cities and towns were experimental studies performed in 2015–2017 at the arachno-entomology laboratory of the Yakut Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture.
Results and discussion. Culex pipiens pipiens f. molestus female mosquitoes are caught after blood sucking and egg maturation by positive oviposition in warm water. For this purpose, a flat-bottomed container with area 0.09–1 m2 is filled with clear nondrying liquid adhesive preheated over 10°С. Female mosquitoes sit on the clear liquid adhesive and are glued to it.
