Tell me if I'm right.

 

Endophillic - rest indoors

Exophillic- rest outdoors

Endophagic- bite indoors

Exophagic -bite ourtdoors.

 

Now my questions is in terms of fogging and indoor residual spraying do we do it by considering the resting habits of mosquitoes or biting habits. Also Culex quinquefasciatus rests indoor but indoor residual spraying is not useful. Why?

 

Thanks :)
