What products are available to control mosquitoes?
A. There are two types of mosquito control products. Larvicides are used to control mosquito larva, an immature stage of the insect. Larviciding involves placing pellets or granules containing anti-larvae pest control products in mosquito breeding sites, such as storm-sewer catch basins, ponds and other water containing areas. Adulticides are products that control mosquitoes at their adult stage. Adulticides are applied as a spray or fog in areas where adult mosquitoes are present. Both types of control options must be used in conjunction with repellents and other control practices in an integrated pest management program.
