Various insecticides provide outdoor protection from mosquitoes.
When they bite, mosquitoes can transmit viruses and other disease-causing organisms to humans and animals. Killing the mosquitoes in your yard reduces the risk of mosquito bites, especially if you spend a lot of time outside. Does this Spark an idea?
Larvicide
Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water, so discarding or changing the water in outdoor water containers kills immature mosquitoes. Mosquito larvicides such as temephos, Bacillus thuringiensis isralensis, methoprene and mosquito oils also effectively kill immature mosquitoes.
Aerosol Sprays
Aerosol insecticides containing carbaryl, malathion or pyrethroids effectively kill adult mosquitoes in various areas in the yard. Focusing on shrubbery and shaded areas around buildings provides the best protection from mosquitoes.
Fogger
A hand-held device, a thermal fogger turns liquid insecticide into a fog, which spreads throughout an area. Treatment with a fogger quickly kills flying and resting adult mosquitoes. A fogger provides short-term control and is most effective in still, cool weather conditions.
