How are areas treated for adult mosquitoes?
An ultra-low volume spray, known as adulticide, is used to kill adult mosquitoes. It is applied using a truck sprayer. The product is designed to kill mosquitoes on contact in the air, and it breaks down immediately after being dispensed. The Lorain County General Health District will only treat areas with adulticide after mosquitoes in that area have tested positive for West Nile Virus.
