Innovative Pest Management way to control Mosquitoes:

Innovative Pest Management experts uses integrated Mosquito management approach to give long lasting relief from mosquitoes which involve anti-larval treatment, adulticide treatment and use of mosquito management devices to control adult population.

 

Larvicide Treatment: Larvicidal treatment is the most efficient and effective means of mosquitoes control in standing water sources. It is targeted at mosquito larvae, which is the most vulnerable stage of the mosquito life cycle. The chemicals such as insect growth regulators, these chemicals disrupt normal growth stages of larvae and results in death. 

 

Adulticidal treatment: Indoor residual spray: Residual spray in form of ULV misting on mosquito resting place inside house helps to kill adult mosquitoes. ULV spraying is a fine mist of droplets that quickly eliminate mosquitoes that come into contact with them.

 

Adulticidal treatment: outdoor Fogging or misting: Thermal Fogging provides a rapid, temporary control for adult mosquitoes. Thermal foggers use heating coils which turn insecticide solution into smoke or fog for killing adult mosquitoes. Thermal fogging is ideal for outdoor use covering large yards, patios, or similar areas of mosquito infestation. 

 

Mosquito Traps to control adult mosquitoes: Innovative Pest Management offers variety of mosquito traps which are suitable for indoor and outdoor adult mosquito control. These units produce heat and CO2 to attract mosquitoes.
