Always follow directions on the label. Homeowners may use hand-held foggers or fogging attachments on tractors or lawn mowers for temporary relief from flying mosquitoes. Follow instructions on fogging attachments for application procedure. Most of the mosquito problems that trouble homeowners and the general population cannot be eliminated through individual efforts, but instead, must be managed through an organized effort. Many states have some sort of organized mosquito control, either at the State, County or city level.
Some residential communities organize to control their mosquito problems.
These management measures include permanent and temporary measures. Permanent measures include impounding water and ditching, and draining swampy mosquito breeding areas. Temporary measures include treating breeding areas to kill larvae and aerosol spraying by ground or aerial equipment to kill adult mosquitoes. If you live within an organized mosquito management district, support it in its control efforts. Organized mosquito management can accomplish much more than individual efforts.
