Oviposition traps have been used for Aedes (Ae.) aegypti population surveillance,4 but the dengue control programmes in many countries do not consider the oviposition trap to be an effective method as it is influenced by ecological/environmental and climatic variables.5 So, these variables deserve special attention in larval surveillance pre-programmes.
