What is Fyfanon uLV adulticide and how is it used?
It is an insecticide product that is recommended for Ultra-Low-Volume (ULV) mosquito control in New Jersey by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. It contains a pesticide called malathion. The US EPA curent evaluation considers this malathion-containing product to be slightly toxic with minimal potential risk to people when used properly as part of an integrated mosquiot control program. This malathion-containing product is used for the control of adult mosquitoes. While habitat managment and measures to control immature mosquitoes in water are preferred and most used, the spraying of adult mosquitoes is called for when biting populations reach critical levels or when a disease organism is present in adult mosquitoes. A very fine mist is sprayed into the air since flying mosquitoes must directly contact the pesticide in order for it to be effective.
