Abstract

Data obtained from field studies showed that the combined effect of methoprene (Altosid 1 briquet/9.3m2) and insect predators suppressed Culex tarsalis Coquillett populations. Chemical treatment caused no deleterious effects on the activities of Notonecta unifasciata Guerin and Buenoa scimitra bare so that the predation produced an additive effect.
