English term or phrase: "container breeding" mosquitoes
El texto dice:
"these mosquitoes like water, preferably shaded. Often breeds in small temporary pools caused by flooding". Commonly referred to as a "container breeder". Eggs can survive being dried out."

And, in another part of my text, I have:

"This method is particularly useful when dealing with "container breeding" mosquitoes."

I've found "mosquitos que se crían en contenedores", but I'm not quite sure if that's correct... it would be awesome to have your suggestions!

Thanks!

Reference

Reference information:
I looked up "container breeding mosquitoes" and found this name "Aedes aegypti". If you look it up in Spanish they call it "el mosquito de la fiebre amarilla" and they do mention towards the bottom that they breed in small pools of water, but they don't call it anything in regards to container breeding.
