Attractive toxic sugar baits (ATSB) are a novel and effective mosquito control tool based on sugar-feeding behaviors and oral ingestion. In general, there is a demand from consumers for more novel control products with more effective active ingredients. (BTi) is a major larvicide for control of mosquito larvae. This study evaluated BTi as an active ingredient of toxic sugar baits (TSB) against adult , , and compared with a positive control of 1% boric acid toxic sugar bait. Ingestion of BTi TSB by female mosquitoes resulted in an average mortality at 48 h of 97% for , 98% for , and 100% for . The study findings suggest ingestible BTi TSBs could be a viable alternative to current mosquito control strategies and programs against adults of these three species of mosquitoes.
有吸引力的毒性糖饵 (ATSB) 是一种基于摄食行为和口服摄入的新型且有效的蚊虫控制工具。一般来说，消费者需要更多具有更有效活性成分的新型控制产品。苏云金芽孢杆菌 (BTi) 是控制蚊虫幼虫的主要杀虫剂。本研究评估了 BTi 作为毒性糖饵 (TSB) 的活性成分，对成蚊 、 和 进行了测试，与 1%硼酸毒性糖饵的阳性对照进行了比较。雌性蚊子摄入 BTi TSB 后，48 小时的平均死亡率分别为 、 、 。研究结果表明，可食性 BTi TSB 可能是替代目前针对这三种蚊虫成蚊的蚊虫控制策略和计划的可行选择。
