Resumo: The selection of oviposition sites by Aedes aegypti L. females was evaluated at El Fuerte, Sinaloa, Mexico. The study was done with ovitraps that contained paper strips as oviposition substrate, and water with spinosad, temephos, and water alone (check). Every week, oviposition substrates were removed and examined for egg laying. Results showed preference for spinosad with an oviposition activity index of 0.35 and for temephos 0.19 although the index was positive, on some sampling dates, they had repellent effect.
