What is the pest management industry contributing to mosquito control?
A. Member companies manufacture some of the products available for protection against mosquitoes, including insect control products and repellents. They are working with concerned municipalities to create effective control programs, involving strategies targeted to both mosquito larvae and adult mosquitoes. The industry advocates an integrated approach to control that includes personal repellents, proper clothing, avoidance and mosquito control. The industry is also offering a comprehensive collection of WNV information at www.croplife.ca/WNV, to help the public better understand the efforts being made to control the insects that spread WNV.
