Abstract
UNFORTUNATELY, it is exceedingly difficult to exterminate insect pests over a large area (not to mention the whole world), because of their enormous numbers, small size, and powers of proliferation. Therefore, we have come to be satisfied with ‘‘control as an objective ; and so far as mosquitoes are concerned, control measures are considered satisfactory if they reduce the mosquito population below the ‘critical ‘density necessary for the propagation of disease.
