What could be the best attract in water pan of trap ?
If somebody has experience from middle east they are warmly welcomed to share.
Thank you
I have used it successfully for collecting Culex pipiens in Egypt.. Because Culex is a night feeder the traps were placed from sunset to sunrise in a calm shaded site. We collect the traps before it gets too hot. Also collecting mosquitoes at the onset of the mosquito breeding season yielded many empty females and also many males. Postponing collections to mid- and end-summer was successful.
_Aedes aegypti_ is attracted to any small-to-medium-sized receptacle with fresh rainwater in it, being a container breeder. Used tyres make ideal artificial oviposition containers while a segment of bamboo hung under shrubbery makes a good substitute for a tree-hole, one of the main oviposition sites in nature. Tap water that has been stood for a few hours to allow excess chlorine to escape makes a good substitute for rainwater. I haven't bothered with the CDC ovitrap for this species because the bamboo pot is such a useful method. Just be sure to add a substrate such as blotting paper or filter paper along the sides of the container, half under water, half above to allow the mosquitoes to oviposit on. No need to add volatile attractants, although a few dried-up leaves of the plane (_Platanus_ spp.) tree or any other leaves that are not toxic to mosquitoes may have benefit. Of course, hatching of the eggs in this species, as for the other _Stegomyia_, will only happen on subsequent inundation, not in the water that is present at the time of oviposition.
Dear ... personally can not help it, but I believe that a researcher of my group can. The Dr Magda performs capture of sandflies and has experience with light traps. The email of Dr Magda is: [email protected]
There is a new gravid trap from the company Biogents. They should work very well for capturing Aedes.
Here is the link:

Best regards
CDC Aedes aegypti trap does not work
You can use larvae traps or black containers with inverted funnel or adhesive ramp.
Thanks to all for sharing their experience and information... What will be your advice for the Mosquitrap or Gravid Aedes Trap (GAT) ?
