Council uses two biological mosquito control products for aerial treatment called Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) and s-Methoprene. Both products have been tested and used extensively in mosquito control across Australia and internationally. The products target only mosquito larvae and do not adversely affect humans, other animals, or the environment.
