Mosquito Spraying Rates
At the application rate of six tenths of an ounce per acre, the spray is effective against flying mosquitoes, but is considered safe for people and pets by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It has no lasting presence (residual) in the environment.

• Aerial spraying takes place at night when mosquitoes are most active.
• Aerial treatments provide quick relief from mosquito bites and can reduce the threat of mosquito-transmitted diseases such as West Nile viral encephalitis and St. Louis encephalitis.
• Spraying is done by truck in urban areas using permethrin, a synthetic form of an insecticide derived from the chrysanthemum flower.
• Permethrins are commonly used in pet dips as well as in other household sprays.
