Utility of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads in the control of vector-borne diseases.

The Indian journal of medical research, 2006
The use of chemicals or bio-larvicides for the control of Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles stephensi breeding in pit latrines and overhead tanks (OHT) respectively is discouraged owing to many undesirable impacts in the environment. Due to faecal contamination and poor survival, use of predatory fish in OHTs is not feasible.
