Control flying insects with a multi-method program

Dr. Chuck Silcox, Product Development Manager, AMVAC Environmental Products

Effectively controlling flying insects like flies, gnats, mosquitoes and moths is best accomplished by developing a program that includes physical, cultural and chemical control methods. Many products are available to control these pests in the various environments they inhabit.

In trash receptacles and other labeled application sites that are occupied by humans for fewer than four hours a day — like attics, barns, enclosed crawlspaces and garages — I suggest using a product in a resin strip formulation with the active ingredient dichlorvos to provide protection.
