Mosquito Control that Works
After the toxic aerial spraying, we are receiving reports that mosquitoes are more prevalent in the targeted areas. Toxic airplane spraying doesn’t work; mosquitoes can be controlled and it doesn't have to be dangerous. We recommend a preventative program that works.
The effective and non-toxic site management program for mosquito control is:
1. Drain standing water where possible and clean up all trash. Even small containers such as pot saucers, old tires, soda bottles and cans hold enough water for mosquito breeding. So can bottle caps and plastic bags.
2. Treat water that cannot be emptied such as drain lines, sewers and stagnant ponds with (Bti - Bacillus thuringiensis'Israelensis') products such as Mosquito Dunks or Mosquito Bits. Surface standing water can be treated the same way or with gambusia mosquito fish. Treating bird baths and other containers of water at home might work to attract and kill mosquitoes - plus Bti is completely harmless to pets, birds and other wildlife.
