A method for mosquito control is provided in the form of mosquito larvicide carrying insects which can be introduced in a mosquito population to thereby control the mosquito population. The larvicide carrier insects may include artificially generated adult insect carriers of a mosquito larvicide in which the mosquito larvicide has minimal impact on the adult insect carrier and which mosquito larvicide affects juvenile mosquito survival or interferes with metamorphosis of juvenile mosquitoes to adulthood. The larvicide carrier insects may be either male or female and may include mosquitoes and non-mosquito insects.

The present application is directed to a system and device for attraction of pests. This system comprises CO.sub.2-releasing microorganisms, and also nutrients specific to these microorganisms, and this system, or the device, comprises one or more biodegradable biopolymers and allows CO.sub.2, and optionally other attractants, to be released over a period of more than 20 days. Furthermore, the present application provides for the use of such a system or such a device for the attraction of pests, more particularly of maize or potato pests, such as larvae of the Western corn rootworm or wire worm. The present application is also directed, lastly, to methods for attracting pests, more particularly pests of maize or potatoes, such as the larvae of the Western corn rootworm, or for wire worms, with the systems or devices of the invention being positioned in the immediate vicinity of the plants, but preferably not directly on the plants.
