Insecticides

The use of insecticides is a common and effective method for mosquito control. These insecticides can be applied as a liquid residual in sprayers or as a fogging solution in a cold or thermal fogger. The insecticide is applied to areas where mosquitoes rest such as foliage of bushes and shrubs, lower limbs of shaded trees, tall grass and other shady areas. Insecticides that contain pyrethrins are commonly used for mosquito control as they are very safe and can be used in fogging machines.
