You’re likely familiar with the ultra-low-volume (ULV) spray trucks that control our district’s adult mosquito population in the evening, but have you heard about our autonomous larviciding drone?

Our drone is used to distribute a targeted product aimed at reducing only mosquito larvae. This product consists of naturally-occurring bacterium commonly found in soil.

The drone is used about once a month in varying locations across our district. It helps cover large and hard-to-reach areas, like cemeteries, quickly and efficiently.

If you have any questions about our drone, please feel free to contact us at 985-543-0454.

They are tests we conduct to see whether local mosquito populations are developing insecticide tolerance.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀?

We gather mosquito larvae found within our district, bring them to our lab, and rear them in cages until they are adults. Once they are adults, we transfer around 20 mosquitoes into each bottle, and we test three bottles per insecticide. The mosquitoes are then observed every 15 minutes for 90 minutes total.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁?

Just like humans can build an antibiotic resistance, mosquitoes can build resistance to insecticides. It’s important to ensure what we’re using is still effective and why we routinely rotate our treatments.

It’s hard to ignore the cooler mornings we’ve been having. Maybe some leaves have started falling in your neighborhood, but mosquito season isn’t over just yet! 🍁🦟

Before heading out to enjoy a football game, pumpkin patch adventure, and cozy evenings outdoors, remember to…

𝗧𝗶𝗽: Dump standing water from flowerpots, buckets, and other containers holding standing water.

𝗧𝗶𝗱𝘆: Clear leaves and debris from gutters to prevent water from collecting.

𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁: Use EPA-registered insect repellent when spending time outdoors, such as DEET or picaridin.

Prevention goes a long way in reducing mosquito breeding sites around your home. Keep the fall fun going and mosquitoes away!
