Introduction to Mosquito Treatments

Mosquito Treatments can be used to manage adulticiding and larviciding activities and share treatment plans with the general public.

Protecting public health is at the center of all mosquito control programs, and effective treatment strategies are critical to controlling mosquito populations. Public works and mosquito control agencies use adulticides to kill adult mosquitoes and larvicides to target mosquito larvae in breeding habitats. When adulticides are applied to control mosquito populations, agencies must proactively share this information with the public and give residents an opportunity to request an exclusion or be notified prior to treatment. This ensures that individuals who have concerns about chemical treatments can avoid having their home sprayed or seek temporary shelter when spraying does occur. Mosquito Treatments is typically implemented by public works and mosquito control agencies that want to increase transparency, grow public trust, and improve relationships with the communities they serve.

The Mosquito Treatments solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you plan adulticide spraying operations, solicit requests for spray notifications and exclusions, maintain spray exclusion areas, record larvicide treatments in the field, and share spray areas with internal and external stakeholders.
