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. Water tests collected from diverse sources were utilized within the ovitraps to get it the ovi position preference of this mosquito species. Water collected from paddy field was found to be the foremost favored water among all other water test studied. Finally, it was taken note that Culexquinquefasciatus laid greatest number of egg flatboats in ovitraps containing hatchling holding water than refined water.
