Comes about of research facility oviposition bioassays appeared that the number of egg flatboats laid by gravid Culexquinquefasciatus steadily diminished with increment in NaCl concentration. When gravid mosquitoes were permitted for oviposition totally different coloured ovitrap, black ovitraps was found to be the foremost favored colour by this mosquito species.
