Q: What is larviciding?

Larviciding is controlling mosquitoes in their larval stage. Control of larval mosquitoes is the backbone of Lee County Mosquito Control District’s program. Larvicides are products used to reduce immature mosquito populations. They can be either biological or chemical products. Larvicides are applied directly to water sources that hold mosquito eggs and larvae. When used well, larvicides can help to reduce the overall mosquito population by limiting the number of new mosquitoes that are produced.
