Aedes aegypti control program in Martinique started en 1968. The Aedes aegypti major breeding sites are associated with flowers vases, drums, used tyres, artificial containers and watering places. However, Culex quinquefasciatus is the main nuisance mosquito in all the island. This species is unpleasant, especially in urban areas. Over 200 Culex quinquefasciatus bites per person per night have been observed in several localities of the island. Culex quinquefasciatus breeding sites are mostly associated with sewage treatment plants, septic tanks and stagnant drains. In order to reduce this nuisance and to improve the quality of life-the Conseil General initiated a large mosquito control program since 1991. This global mosquito control is based on: information and health education, environmental management (source reduction, drainage...), use of chemical insecticides.
马提尼克岛的埃及伊蚊控制项目始于1968年。埃及伊蚊的主要滋生地与花瓶、水桶、废旧轮胎、人工容器和浇水处有关。然而，致倦库蚊是全岛主要的骚扰性蚊子。该物种令人讨厌，尤其是在城市地区。在该岛的几个地方，已观察到每人每晚有超过200次致倦库蚊叮咬。致倦库蚊的滋生地大多与污水处理厂、化粪池和排水不畅的下水道有关。为了减少这种滋扰并提高生活质量，自1991年起，地方议会启动了一项大规模的蚊虫控制项目。这种全面的蚊虫控制基于：信息与健康教育、环境管理（减少源头、排水等）以及使用化学杀虫剂。
