The mosquitoes are the principal vector for many of the vector –borne diseases affecting human beings and other animals. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the oviposition attractancy of Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) Novaluron and Buprofezin, on the oviposition of three species of mosquitoes, viz., Culex quinquefasciatus (Say), Aedes aegypti (L.) and Anopheles stephensi (Liston).
