Ovitrap deployment stands as a viable strategy for Aedes mosquito control. This study evaluated the efficacy of an autodissemination ovitrap called AedesTech Mosquito Home System (AMHS), which incorporates pyriproxyfen. The study encompassed laboratory trials. Within the laboratory trials, our investigations unfolded across two species of mosquitoes: Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti. Three distinct facets were explored in the laboratory trials: the influence of an attractant on the oviposition, the effect of trap positioning on oviposition, and the selection of oviposition sites. Our laboratory results indicated that the Mosquito Home Aqua (MHAQ) solution with attractant consistently attracted Ae. aegypti effectively (Welch’s Analysis of Variance) F (2,68.66) =5.22, p=0.01). However, its efficacy with Ae. albopictus was suboptimal compared to other treatments (Two-way ANOVA, F=0.16, df=2, p>0.05), highlighting the need for considering additional attractants. Notably, the placement of AMHS exhibited no discernible impact on its attractiveness for both mosquito species (T-test, p>0.05), underscoring the flexibility in trap deployment. The occurrence of simultaneous oviposition choices within the same replicates hinted at the possibility that the existing attractant in MHAQ did not significantly influence oviposition (p> 0.05). Therefore, eliminating the attractant is suggested to reduce the cost of AMHS production. Overall, our investigation underscores the promising potential of AMHS for Aedes control, especially Ae—aegypti and substantiated by robust statistical evidence gleaned from this controlled laboratory study.
