The nuisance situation, generated by Culex pipiens, is strongly felt in Tlemcen. The difficult-to-control extension of urban planning and the faulty sewage and sanitation system are generators of cottages in Culex pipiens. To define areas infested with Culex pipiens, survey methods are an indispensable tool to address certain territorial problems (Metelo et al., 2013). Thus carrying out a survey of households in three municipalities located in the wilaya of Tlemcen in Algeria (Tlemcen, Chetouane and Mansourah). The purpose of the survey was to assess the degree of nuisance caused by Culex pipiens on populations. The results of the survey conducted in the Large Tlemcen grouping helped to define the aggressiveness of Culex pipiens and thus to establish a mapping of the infested areas.
