Pesticides

Pesticides are made of potentially dangerous chemiclas that damage the environment and endanger your health.

Pesticide is used to control mosquito problems from the back yard to large areas of land. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been evaluating and approving particular pesticide products for many years.

Here is a comprehensive list of the types of pesticide used in mosquito control:

• Larvicides
• Insecticides
• Repellents

Larvicides

Larvicides target mosquitoes in their early stage of development. The larva stage occurs in the water just as the eggs have hatched. Heavy mosquito breeding areas are treated with larvicides in an attempt to prevent more adult mosquitoes.

Larvicides contain insecticides and are commonly used in these forms: Microbial, Methoprene, Temephos, Monomolecular Films and Oils.

To find out if your area has been treated with larvicides contact your local Pest Management Program. There may be alternative ways to take care of pest problems like turning over trapped water supplies, management of marsh water levels and more.

Insecticides

Insecticides are commonly used in gardens and public recreation areas. Ariel applications like adulticide will completely cover large areas of land.

There are several types of insecticides such as Malathion, Naled, Synthetic Pyrethroids, Permethrin, Resmethrin, Sumethrin, Chlorpyrifos and Fethion.

There's a growing amount of scientific evidence pointing toward insecticides as a cancer agent. Many children who once played in pesticide sprayed fields have had significant health problems later in life.

Insecticides are used on all stages of mosquito development and are available in these forms:

• Dust & Spray
• Emulsified
• Concentrated
• Granular
• Liquid & Wet Powder

Insecticides like Malathion claim to use a low volume of pesticide with about 2.5 fluid ounces of active ingredients per acre. Malathion will kill mosquitoes on contact and is usually distributed by an aircraft-mounted spray.

Repellents

The most popular type of mosquito repellent available on the market today is called Deet.

Deet is designed for direct skin application in order to protect against insect bites. Due to the active ingredients in Deet, never apply too much because your skin will soak up the chemicals and try to process them in your system.

Deet is available in sprays, lotions, and soaps. Please remember to evaluate the realistic need for chemically treated repellents before heavy use. There are natural alternatives for mosquito protection.

Mosquito Fogger

There are several alternative methods to pesticide when it comes to mosquito control. For instance, liquid garlic and essential oils like citronella, thyme and orange blossom repel mosquitoes with great results.

Another product that is used in yards, green houses and commercial areas is called a mosquito fogger. This device not only eliminates pests, but mold and fungus as well.

Here are some of the top features of a fogger machine:

• No fuel or gas
• Easy to operate
• Low maintenance
• Approved pesticide
