Mosquito Lightning Symposium

Mosquito Lightning Symposium

14 - Pyriproxyfen and Plastic - The NeverEnding Story?

Tuesday, March 4, 2025
1:45 PM – 3:15 PM AST
Location: Ballroom A
Abstract: Commercial mosquito traps that use pyriproxyfen-treated water to attract gravid females seeking oviposition sites have gained popularity in recent years. The data presented here were initially collected to address concerns about the breeding capacity of the trap reservoirs. However, over time, the focus has shifted to examining how long pyriproxyfen remains sequestered in plastic. With no clear end to the biological residual capacity in sight, new questions have emerged regarding the application of pyriproxyfen.
