Preliminary Report on the Reduction of Adult Mosquitoes in Housing Compounds in Western Kenya Using the ProVector Flower and Entobac Bait Pads Containing Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis With Honey Bait

This study provides evidence that Bti-laced bait may be used as an alternative adulticide and be delivered in an applicator to reduce mosquito populations of several species. This method may significantly reduce the cost of pesticide application through target specificity and by reducing the amount of pesticide placed into the environment.
