Background  Measure the populations of  Ae. aegypti  and  Ae. albopictus  adults according to sex and location inside or outside the residence, estimate  Ae. aegypti  female density per house and per resident, and test the association with abiotic factors.    Methods  Adult mosquitoes were collected monthly with a hand net and portable electric catcher in the peridomiciliary and intradomiciliary premises of residences in an urban area with ongoing dengue transmission in the municipality of São Sebastião, Brazil, from February 2011 to February 2012.    Results  Of the 1,320 specimens collected, 1,311 were  Ae. aegypti , and nine were  Ae. albopictus . A total of 653 male and 658 female of  Ae. aegypti  were recorded, of which 80% were intradomiciliary. The mean density of  Ae. aegypti  adult females was 1.60 females/house and 0.42 females/resident. There was an association between the number of females and the number of residents in both intradomiciliary and peridomiciliary premises (r 2  = 0.92; p < 0.001 and r 2  = 0.68; p < 0.001, respectively). There was an association between the number of females and the mean and total rainfall; the correlation was better in peridomiciliary premises (p = 0.00; r 2  = 77%) than intradomiciliary premises in both cases (p = 0.01; r 2  = 48%). Minimum temperature was associated in both environments, exhibiting the same coefficient of determination (p = 0.02; r 2  = 40%). The low frequency of  Ae. albopictus  (seven females and two males) did not allow for detailed evaluation.    Conclusions   Ae. aegypti  is well established within the urban area studied, and the frequency of isolation is higher inside the houses. Female density was directly proportional to the number of residents in the houses. Our data show that human population density positively affects the number of  Ae. aegypti  females within the residence. Meteorological variables also affected mosquito populations. These data indicate a high probability of human-vector contact, increasing the possible transmission and spread of the DEN virus. Entomological indicators of adult females revealed important information complimenting what was obtained with traditional  Stegomyia  indices. This information should be a part of an interconnected data set for evaluating and controlling the vector.
