Fermented infusions of organic matter are commonly used as baits in traps for gravid female mosquitoes. However, infusions are dynamic, and their effects on mosquito oviposition as their chemical and microbial constituents change over time are not well documented. Bermuda grass infusion fermented for periods of 0-63 days was stimulatory to gravid Culex quinquefasciatus. In contrast, only 5-25-day-old infusion was stimulatory to Culex tarsalis. Standard-aged infusion (7 days old) was as effective or better than infusion of any other age for Cx. tarsalis, whereas Cx. quinquefasciatus exhibited a distinct preference for 2-4-wk-old infusion. The results are discussed in terms of mosquito species' oviposition site preferences and in terms of mosquito surveillance programs.
有机物质的发酵浸液通常用作诱捕妊娠雌蚊的诱饵。然而，浸液是动态的，随着其化学和微生物成分随时间变化，它们对蚊子产卵的影响尚无充分记录。发酵0至63天的百慕大草浸液对妊娠致倦库蚊有刺激作用。相比之下，只有5至25日龄的浸液对西方库蚊有刺激作用。标准龄期浸液（7日龄）对西方库蚊的效果与任何其他龄期的浸液相同或更好，而致倦库蚊对2至4周龄的浸液表现出明显的偏好。从蚊子种类的产卵地点偏好和蚊子监测计划的角度对结果进行了讨论。
