Altosid Briquets are intended to be used in standing water, and Altoside Pro G Granules are designed to be used as a "scatter" larvacide such as in wet swampy areas, old tire storage facilities, or areas where using a Briquet simply won't work. In situations where Briquets, Dunks or Granules won't work or are not economically feasible, the use of a liquid IGR such as Nyguard may prove beneficial.
Nyguard can be mixed with water and sprayed directly onto almost any surface including water to get control of mosquito larva. It can also be tank mixed with an insecticide product such as Onslaught , Riptide , Bifen IT , Suspend and others to provide control of the adults and also control of larvae. In residential situations, the use of a residual insecticide combined with Nyguard is highly recommended. Control of adult Mosquitoes can be a daily, sometimes several times a day event.
The use of sprays and fogs containing pyrethrum or a combination of pyrethrum and synthetic pyrethrum called pyrethroids is a toxic and popular combination. These products kill adult mosquitoes on contact and also work to repel others. While most sprays and fogs are aimed at killing adult mosquitoes while airborne, a better method is to apply these products into the areas where they hide and rest.
Under shrubs, trees, decks, planters, ivy and hanging plants, and under groundcover is where these biting menaces live and wait, until the time is right to begin their search for a host.
It's also the best place to begin spraying. Spraying into the air will kill adult mosquitoes - if the spray contact's them. But more often than not, when sprays are "fogged" or "misted" from a distance, wind and air movement simply carries the spray away and leaves the mosquitoes unharmed. This is the reason that most municipal and air borne mosquito control programs don't work.
The insecticide never reaches the intended target. Another reason these programs often don't work, is that the actual amount of chemical being used - in some cases less than 1 ounce of chemical per acre of land, is simply not enough to provide adequate coverage of the target area.
In some aerial applications from aircraft, the amount used is equal to 1 gallon of insecticide for acres of land. In our opinion, this type of application is generally for publicity purposes, since it really doesn't do anything, it certainly won't kill mosquitoes hiding under a shrub. Mosquitoes are notarious for being either a "daytime" biter or a "nightime" biter. Depending on the species involved, your control MUST take into consideration the species and the time of day or night when they are most active.
Treatment at non-active times will render less than optimum results. There are many mosquito insecticides and sprays available.
The most popular professional mosquito insecticides are those that are considered "Natural" or "Organic" because they contain pyrethum - a botanical insecticide extracted from African and Australian Chrysanthemums.
Those pyrethrum based insecticides such as Riptide , VamPyre and Pyronyl as well as others are not really organic or natural. They could be considered "naturally derived", but due to their heavy refinement and the addition of a large concentration of a synergist makes it more active called PBO or Piperonyl Butoxide, they are not considered natural by the EPA.
However they are very effective at killing mosquitoes. The upside to using a pyrethrum based insecticide is that it kills quickly and does not leave much of a residue. This is more of an "organic" approach. The downside to using these products is that they do not leave any residue and must be continually applied. That is why pyrethrum based insecticides for mosquito control tend to be heavily favorited by companies that install Mosquito Misting Systems.
They are clean, don't leave any gunky residue in the lines or nozzles and also do not tend to stain fences, decks or cement. Other chemicals that are "preferred" for mosquito control are those that are synthetic and microencapsulated. Microencapsulation tends to give a much longer life to an insecticide and help deter breakdown in the environment. Exposure to water, sunlight, and the environment can be the death of any insecticide outdoors, but microencapsulation tends to help overcome this.
These products cannot be used in a misting system. Vector Ban , Vector Ban Plus , Bifen IT and Bifen XTS , are also great chemicals for outdoor mosquito control that are a little less expensive than Microcaps, provide some residual and normally won't stain fences, decks, cement, etc.
Most of the time, when using a natural or organic solution, the control is much less than what you will get with a traditional insecticide. There are no home remedies that will work to control or repel mosquitoes. However there are several naturally based products that will do a decent job. They just need continual reapplication to be effective. These products kill mosquitoes on contact, provide a very limited residual and usually won't kill the lizards and the butterflies, but will leave your yard smelling like a farmers market.
There are also several very good all natural mosquito repellent granules. These products are easy to apply, and provide a repellent barrier to mosquitoes for up to 72 hours and longer in some cases. They are perfect for parties, afternoon cookouts, campsites, picnics, weddings, and wherever the threat of mosquitoes could be an issue.

Compare products and find least-toxic alternatives to streamline decision-making. Remove Habitat The best way to avoid mosquito bites is to locate and remove standing water where mosquitoes can lay eggs.
Remove any items located outdoors that can collect water, including buckets, old tires, bottles, wheelbarrows, and cans. For inflatable or kiddie pools, change the water frequently, drain or cover when not in use. The mosquito-eating fish, Gambusia affinis, is an important control agent for immature mosquitoes. It feeds on the larvae and is most effective in ornamental ponds or other man-made bodies of water that do not connect with natural waterways.
Never release mosquitofish into streams, ponds or lakes as they can become invasive. Some vector control districts offer mosquito fish free of charge. Contact your vector control district for more information. Goldfish and koi will also eat mosquito larvae. Seal Them Out Exclude mosquitoes from your home by keeping doors and windows tightly shut or add screens with insect-proof netting. Prevent bites by avoiding the outdoors when mosquito activity is at its greatest, often at dawn, early evening and dusk.
If staying inside is not an option, wear long sleeves and pants or a hat with netting to minimize exposed skin and avoid areas like swamps, marshes, and slow moving streams where mosquitoes thrive.
Avoid shady shots and places sheltered from the wind. Biting is less of a problem in sunny, brightly lit areas and a breeze will make it harder for mosquitoes to find you. Turn on a fan, moving air will keep mosquitoes and other weak flyers away.
This works best in a relatively small area where you can set up a fan or two to create good air flow. If there are more mosquitoes in the house than you can kill with a fly swatter, cover beds with netting, especially cribs. Use of aerosol sprays, foggers and misting systems is not recommended, due to the high probability of harm during the application from inhaling the pesticides and touching the residues they leave behind.
People and pets may be exposed to pesticides through direct contact with spray droplets, contact with objects in the treatment area on which residues have landed, or inhalation of aerosolized pesticide in the air.
Plugins like these put pesticides into the air, causing unnecessary inhalation exposure.

Fresh- or salt-water marshes, swamps, grassy ditches, the edges of streams and rivers, and small, temporary rain pools.
Practically nontoxic to humans, pets, fish and wildlife. Both strains occur naturally in the environment and are highly selective toxins that only target mosquito larvae and that of a few related flies.
Linalool Neem oil Nepeta cataria oil catnip Oil of cedar wood Phenylethyl propionate. Several naturally occurring substances are available in products sold for mosquito control, including neem and linalool from mint and citrus plants.
Contamination of surfaces with these common components of foods is not hazardous, but inhalation of the spray can be problematic. Very low acute and longer-term toxicity to humans. High toxicity to aquatic invertebrates. Diflubenzuron affects the hemoglobin of animals in studies.
P-chloroaniline PCA , a metabolite of diflubenzuron, is classified as a probable human carcinogen. Most products with IGRs also contain an insecticide, usually a pyrethroid. Poses a low acute toxicity risk to humans and pets. Slightly toxic to freshwater invertebrates. Butoxy poly propylene glycol BPG Poly oxy-1,2-ethanediyl , alpha-isooctadecyl-omega-hydroxy. Low acute toxicity. BPG is never used as the sole active ingredient in a product, but is often used with pyrethrins, piperonyl butoxide, and pyrethroids.
Low acute toxicity for humans and pets, and not likely to cause cancer or other long-term harm. Highly toxic to bees. Moderately acutely toxic by ingestion, but not absorbed substantially through the skin.
