Laboratory experiments were carried out to test the larvicidal properties of metallic copper against Ae albopictus, a species which has spread in Italy during the last 3 years. The results show the strongest lethal effect on 1st stage larvae and support the use of copper as a simple, cheap and environmentally safe agent to control larval breeding of Ae albopictus in peridomestic containers.
