Do the chemicals used for controlling mosquitoes kill fire-flies and dragonflies?
The extremely small droplet aerosols utilized in adult mosquito control are designed to impact primarily adult mosquitoes that are on the wing at the time of the application. Degradation of these small droplets is rapid, leaving little or no residue in the target area at ground level. These special considerations are major factors that favor the use of very low application rates for these products, generally less than four grams active ingredient per acre, and are instrumental in minimizing adverse impacts.
