What is Efficacy of a simply resting box baited with crude fruit and leaf ethanol extracts of Phytolaccadodecandra (L’ Herit) in capturing and killing of indoor mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) at Korando, Western Kenya about?
Effective capture and elimination of indoor resting mosquito population is important in the fight against mosquito borne diseases. This study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of a simply resting box baited with crude fruit and leaf ethanol extracts of __Phytolacca dodecandra__ in attracting and killing indoor mosquitoes at Korando, Western Kenya. The study was conducted in three phases: pre-intervention, intervention and post intervention. Simple resting boxes made from galvanized wire frame measuring 30 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm, covered in blue and black tunic in and out and lined with carton boards were used. The boxes were baited with socks with strong human odour and 80 ml/100mls (e/w) solution of either crude ethanol fruit or leaf extracts of __P. dodecandra__, ethanol leaf extracts of __Azadiracta indica__ or Deltamethrin. Deltamethrin and __Azadiracta indica__ were used as positive and water as negative control. The treatments were applied at the intervention phase only. The boxes were left overnight in the houses and mosquitoes collected by 6.30 h. It was observed that more Culicines than Anopheline were captured irrespective of phase or treatment used. Mosquito densities reduced
