Dad used the data from the light trap collections to create a graph that demonstrated significant declines in many species of pest mosquitoes, specifically the two salt marsh species, Aedes
taeniorhynchus (Wiedemann) and Aedes sollicitans (Walker) (Diptera: Culicidae).
Culex quinquefasciatus, furthermore, it was one of the most toxic pesticides for Anopheles quadrimaculatus and Aedes
taeniorhynchus. However, the known tolerance and safety of Imidacloprid in some insect predators, such as Coccinella septempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is powerful advantages with respect to non-target organism concerns and for environmental impact issues [22].
In the study, 10 different insecticides were combined with a sucrose solution and fed to females of three mosquito species--Culex quinquefasciatus, which transmits West Nile virus; Anopheles quadrimaculatus, a malaria vector; and Aedes
taeniorhynchus, an important pest and vector of some arboviruses.
