 Econ. Ent. Vol. .5, April, 1912, pp. 131-141. Notes on habits of the species. Methods 

 of control, crude oil and "larvicide" spread with spray pump or drip barrels; killing 

 adults in houses, bottles and "swatters." 



Knab, F. a proposal for the control of certain mosquitoes. Science XXXVII, 

 No. 943, January 24, 1912. Only a few mosquitoes hibernate as adults. Most of 

 them, particularly in woods and swamps, pass the winter in the egg stage. As 

 these eggs are laid on leaves and rubbish it is suggested that the best method of 

 control would be to gather such rubbish and burn it or place it where it could not get 

 back into pools of water.
