Larval Control

Using mosquito larvicide may be beneficial when it is impractical to eliminate a breeding site. A larvi-cide controls immature mosquitoes before they can develop into biting adults.

我们建议使用含有以下任何一种成分的杀幼虫剂:

• Bacillus thuringiensis isrealensis, which can be found in mosquito dunks and granules.
• 甲基丁二烯，可以在水处理中以颗粒形式发现.

Neither of these chemicals is harmful to fish, waterfowl, pets or humans when used as directed.

Adult Control

减少蚊虫叮咬, 杀虫剂可以在草上施用, shrubs , low-hanging tree limbs and shaded areas (under decks and along foundations). 气雾剂和手持式泵喷雾器是方便的这些应用. 在使用任何农药之前，一定要阅读并遵循标签上的说明, 或者与专业人士签约.

我们建议使用含有下列成分的除害剂:

• 7.9 Bifenthrin，室内/室外昆虫浓缩液
• Cyfluthrin，可以在拜耳高级动力灭蚊器中找到
• Lambda-cyhalothrin，可以在三嗪杀菌剂中找到
• Permethrin, which can be found in Ortho Mosquito B Gone, Spectracide Mosquito Stop and Gordon’s 10 Permethrin.

Each of these products is available in ready-to-use concentrate by connecting to a garden-hose sprayer or dispensed via a hand-held garden pump sprayer. 这些都可以在五金店和家装店买到.

Personal Protection from Bites

• 早晚都待在室内.
• 避免穿短裤和短袖衬衫.
• 使用含有避蚊胺(二乙基甲苯酰胺)的驱蚊剂, 将驱虫剂涂在皮肤和衣服上.

Ineffective Control Options

Don’t rely on:

• Bug zappers
• 依靠一氧化碳、温暖、光线或气味的陷阱
• 使用超声波的便携式电子设备
• Scented candles or incense

Think of Your Canine Friends

Your family dogs are susceptible to infection with heartworm through mosquito bites. 你可以通过兽医进行预防性药物治疗.

DAC Program Goals

幸运的是，我们的沙漠社区有必要的水流动. 大面积灌溉随着预定的放水量达到峰值. Dona Ana Vector Control appreciates the effort our area farmers put into managing the water as a ground soak. 这可以防止滋生蚊子的开放水域. 我们的农民很认真地维护排水沟, ditches, and culverts free of weeds and trash so water can move to outlets and drain properly.

我们的季风雨很快就要来了. So working as “neighbors helping neighbors” we control mosquitoes by draining out the backyard container collection. 注意那些有深碟子的花盆, 无排水孔的垃圾桶, 旧轮胎堆在棚子后面. Now is the time to haul to transfer station and take advantage of their low disposal fees.

矢量控制是快乐的每一个孩子与一个小涉水池, 请保持水的新鲜和清洁. 牲畜需要大量的水槽来获得所需的饮用水. Consider using mosquito control products like Dunks in large water containers. Safe and effective products to treat mosquitoes are available at all major hardware stores. Large unused swimming pools are easy to treat with Mosquito Dunks to prevent mosquitoes. Desert smart people store rainwater in cisterns for later use make sure they are mosquito screened or treated to prevent hatch.

Desert mosquitoes like deep grass and weeds to provide cooling shade and moisture. Keep the grass and shrubs well trimmed close to the house so adult mosquitoes will not rest there. 减少蚊虫叮咬, 根据需要，可以在院子和谷仓的阴凉处施用杀虫剂. 在使用任何农药之前，一定要阅读并遵循标签上的说明. Please consult with County Ag Extension staff if you need more information on barn treatments with livestock on premises.

Mosquitoes are attracted to door lights and moisture so you may have to swat them as soon as they enter. When you step out in early mornings or evenings please consider using an effective repellent to reduce the number of mosquitoes landing to bite! 仔细阅读并遵循制造商的使用说明.

Dona Ana County leadership, 我们的经理和专员, 将教育作为对抗西尼罗病毒的一种方式. I would like to thank every person employed by the County that contributed to the development of our Coloring Book for Mosquito Science Education. Thousands of children have had an introduction to mosquito control as an application of working field biology. 和学校的工作人员一起工作很愉快. So happy with our science approach that the schools requested we do a refresher, 控制蚊子是数学作业. 特别感谢所有做数学作业的孩子们. 你应该向我们的防蚊教育儿童咨询一下吗, they may encourage natural mosquito control in ponded water with gambusia minnows. Deep water rain ponds and back yard fountains can be stocked with minnows to prevent mosquito wigglers. Dona Ana County provides free minnows to citizens at 4605 West Picacho Avenue. Vector staff is onsite Tuesday morning 8:00am till 10:00am providing minnows in travel bags. 请带上你的水桶，以防运输时漏.

Large areas of standing water are reported to 575-526-8150 for Vector site inspection.
