Mosquito Spraying Rates
At the application rate of six tenths of an ounce per acre, the spray is
effective against flying mosquitoes, but is considered safe for people
and pets by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It has no lasting
presence (residual) in the environment.
- Aerial spraying takes place at night when
mosquitoes are most active.
- Aerial treatments provide quick relief from
mosquito bites and can reduce the threat of mosquito-transmitted
diseases such as West Nile viral encephalitis and St. Louis
encephalitis.
- Spraying is done by truck in urban areas using
permethrin, a synthetic form of an insecticide derived from the
chrysanthemum flower.
- Permethrins are commonly used in pet dips as well
as in other household sprays.
