The most effective method of control of these species is to remove suitable locations for eggs to be laid. This is achieved by removing objects that collect water and areas of standing water. Alongside this the use of [[Ectoparasiticides|insecticides]] is possible but requires several repeat applications. In the future it may be possible to use biological and genetic control methods which are currently under development. | The most effective method of control of these species is to remove suitable locations for eggs to be laid.
