The most successful biocontrol agents to date are fish and the bacteria known as Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) and Bacillus sphaericus (Bs). Subsoil drainage as environmental method of preventing breeding of malaria mosquitoĤ.BIOLOGICAL CONTROL using parasites, predators, pathogens and symbionts of mosquitoes. One noted example is sub-soil drainage, where drains are buried to make them inaccessible to mosquitoes Public participation in destroying Aedes breeding sitesģ.ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL to eliminate the breeding by altering the environment to make it unfavourable for mosquitoes to breed. in which water can collect and mosquitoes can lay their eggs Indoor residual spraying of insecticide to control malaria mosquitoesĢ.SOURCE REDUCTION by removing containers, tyres etc. Space spraying of insecticide for dengue control Chemical insecticides can also be applied directly to mosquito breeding sites or resting sites (indoor and outdoor spray) to kill the larvae and adults respectively These methods are:ġ.CHEMICAL CONTROL whereby chemical insecticides are used to kill the mosquitoes, such as by fogging. There are several ways dengue mosquitoes can be controlled or eliminated. In addition to treatment and healthcare, controlling and eliminating the mosquito carriers is a crucial measure to stop transmission of these diseases and nuisance.
