Biological/Biorational Control
Biological/Biorational Control

 Biological control is the use of natural enemies—predators, parasites, pathogens, and competitors—to control mosquitoes. Natural enemies against mosquitoes include mosquito fish (Gambusia sp.), bats, copepods, etc. Biorational pesticides referred to as amicrobial pest control agents include bacteria, fungi, and viruses

Chemical control is the use of mosquito control products. These products are used only when needed and in combination with other approaches for more effective, long-term control. The district aims to select and apply products in a way that minimizes their possible harm to people and the environment
