How would aerial spraying be conducted?
Aerial spraying is generally conducted during the early evening and night time hours (i.e., usually from dusk up to shortly after midnight) in areas of concern. Mosquito control professionals apply these pesticides as an ultra low volume (ULV) spray. ULV sprayers dispense very fine aerosol droplets that stay aloft and kill adult mosquitoes on contact.
