Aqueous infusions of decayed paper birch, Betula paprifera (Marsh), contain an oviposition attractant for the tree-hole mosquito A. triseriatus (Say) in laboratory experiments. The attractive material is volatile and soluble in pentane. p-Cresol is an active component of this extract. Experiments demonstrate that contact of ovipositing mosquitoes with p-cresol odor alone suffices to induce significantly increased oviposition. Trapping experiments show that p-cresol solutions attract significantly more mosquitoes, both male and female, than does distilled water alone.
