We compared the number of adult Aedes aegypti emerging from subsurface catch basins located in the streets against the number of pupae (as a proxy of adults emerging) from the entire container larval habitats found at residential premises within 1 ha of a neighborhood in the Mexican city of Merida during 8 days in the dry season of 2012. Aedes aegypti adults were collected from 60% of the subsurface catch basins. They produced 12 adults/day/ha (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.4 to 17.9), 5 females (95% CI, 2.1 to 7.7), and 7 males (95% CI, 3.8 to 10.7). In contrast, only 7 containers holding water were identified in 30 premises inspected, 1 bucket was positive for Ae. aegypti larvae, but no pupae-positive containers were found. No other mosquito species were found. This study revealed the importance of this type of nonresidential and subterranean aquatic habitat for Ae. aegypti adult production in this neighborhood of Merida during the dry season.
