The most common method deployed for their control is the use of insecticides. Throughout their life cycle they are exposed to a wide range of predators in different habitats, thus biological control of mosquitoes by using aquatic predators has been suggested. Therefore, the present study was ...

We can also, on the basis of laboratory prey-choice experiments, characterizeE.culicivoraas having a specialized prey-classification system and a hierarchy of innate preferences for various categories of mosquitoes and other arthropods. Prey from the field belonged to 10 arthropod orders, but 94.5%...
Welcome natural predators: With the right plants, you can encourage bug-eating birds or insects like ladybugs and praying mantises to control pest populations naturally.

Nematodes: Nematodes are microscopic worms that are natural flea predators. They hunt adult fleas as well as flea eggs and larvae and can also help eliminate mosquitoes and termites. Nematodes pose no threat to people or pets and will simply die off when their food source (fleas) is no longe...
Predators can limit prey abundance and/or levels of activity. The magnitudes of these effects are contingent on predator and prey traits that may change with environmental conditions. Aberrant thermal regimes could disrupt pest suppression through asymme
