There are many insects that look like mosquitoes. Some mosquitoes do not feed on humans or transmit diseases.
Different species have different larval habitats.
Adulticide and larvicide applications should not be automatic. To count larvae, collect them in white dippers in which they can be easily seen. Adults can be monitored with special light traps. Apply pesticides only to areas where mosquitoes are present. Target these areas by mapping breeding sites and adult resting sites.
