The response of adult mosquito species to resting boxes internally fitted with light emitting diodes was evaluated in north central Florida from July 2006 to August 2007. Resting boxes were internally fitted with either one of four wavelengths: blue (470 nm), green (502 nm), red (660 nm) and infrared (860 nm), or left unlit as a control. Treatments were randomized and mosquitoes were mechanically aspirated from resting boxes daily.
