Patent abstract
A method of controlling or eradicating mosquito populations in aqueous environments, the method comprising the creation of an aqueous environment having greater than about 2% of sugars such as dextrose, sucrose and fructose in varying ratios. Mosquito larvae fail to develop beyond the second instar stage in solutions of approximately 2% or more, and the time period for the larval stage is prolonged beyond the naturally occurring larval stage time period. Pupation and development into adulthood is reduced in solutions of lesser concentration.
