The insecticides we use are not persistent. They only kill the mosquitoes present and flying at the time of the treatment. There is no residual effect, so any new mosquitoes which infiltrate the area shortly after a ULV treatment are not killed. This is important, since a more persistent pesticide might also kill beneficial insects over the next several days.
