Frequently Asked Questions
 
  • How do you control mosquitos?


  • What is Source Reduction?


  • What is Larvaciding?
      Larviciding is the act of killing mosquito larvae, while they are condensed in small areas of standing water, before they have a chance to metamorphose into flying biting insects. We use a variety of different products to accomplish this, depending on the location, the amount and type of larvae, and the stage of the development. Chemicals used vary from specialized pesticides to insect growth regulators (IGRs) to environmentally friendly bacteria-based biological larvicides.
