Summer is here, warm weather, picnics, water activities, and MOSQUITOES! To help prevent nuisance adult mosquitoes in your area, you have several choices when adulticiding.

ADAPCO offers the most diverse line of equipment and products available to provide you with an effective and efficient means to control mosquitoes in any habitat allowing you to protect your fellow citizens from vector-borne diseases.

Adulticides can be applied either aerially or by ground and aerial applications are more efficient when you have a large amount of acreage to treat or when treatment area cannot be reached by ground equipment. However for most of us, we can accomplish our adulticiding needs by employing a variety of ground application equipment such as trucks, ATVs, or handhelds. Choosing the proper application equipment is usually based on the size and characteristics of the habitat being targeted.

Thermal foggers use high temperatures to produce a large fog or very small droplets that do not reduce the active ingredient. These foggers are ideal for large open areas, as well as penetrating dense foliage.

An ULV (Ultra Low Volume) application is the most commonly used technique to reduce adult mosquito populations. These sprayers have the ability to atomize droplets as required by the labels, typically 5-30 microns, over a wide range of flow rates as necessary to control mosquitoes in any habitat from rural or farm areas to populated urban areas.

Supplementing your wide area adulticiding applications with precision residual barrier control products can result in very effective long term control. These barrier application target mosquitoes where they rest by applying a residual material to the resting habitat. No matter how you choose to apply or control your adult mosquitoes, ADAPCO has the products to help you in your efforts to protect your constituents from nuisance and disease carrying mosquitoes, and allowing your constituents to enjoy their summer.
