摘要

Compositions described herein are purposed to attract gravid mosquitoes to oviposit in a preferred environment. The composition for directing the oviposition of mosquitoes comprises one or more attractants and N—P—K additive, wherein the N—P—K additive is mixture that contain chemical elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The attractants can be modified to provide a composition for facilitating the oviposition of different kind of mosquito. The composition described above, can be modified to provide a composition for facilitating the oviposition of the Anopheles species of Culicidae. The composition can also include cooked whey, n-heneicosane and/or tetradecanoic acid methyl ester to provide a composition for facilitating the oviposition of the Aedes species of Culicidae. The composition can also be modified to provide a composition for facilitating the oviposition of the Culex species of Culicidae.
