Due
to
recent
concerns
regarding
West
Nile
Virus,
Professional
Lake
Management
has
researched
options
for
mosquito
control
services.
As
you
know,
lakes
and
ponds
may
be
potential
breeding
areas
for
mosquitoes.
Since
Professional
Lake
Management
specializes
in
the
management
of
nuisance
organisms
in
aquatic
environments,
we
want
to
continue
diversifying
our
services
to
address
your
needs.
Where
do
mosquitoes
reproduce?
Most
mosquitoes
prefer
stagnant
pools
of
water
in
which
to
lay
their
eggs.
These
stagnant
pools
can
include
lake
bayous,
drainage
ditches,
temporary
ponds
and
puddles,
old
tires,
and
even
clogged
roof
eves.
Eliminating
as
many
potential
sites
for
mosquitoes
to
lay
their
eggs
as
possible
is
the
first
step
to
reducing
mosquito
numbers.
How
can
mosquitoes
be
controlled?
There
are
several
options
available
for
controlling
mosquitoes
including,
reducing
mosquito
habitat,
and
using
chemical
or
biological
pesticides.
An
integrative
approach
to
mosquito
control
utilizing
several
different
methods
will
most
likely
be
the
most
successful.

What
products
are
available
at
PLM
for
mosquito
control?
We
now
offer
a
biological
control
agent
(Vectobac)
that
targets
larval
mosquitoes.
Vectobac
utilizes
a
spore
form
of
naturally
occurring
soil
bacteria.
The
larvae
ingest
the
bacteria,
which
in
turn
disrupts
the
gut
of
the
mosquito
larvae
leading
to
death
within
24
hours.
Larvicides,
like
Vectobac,
are
a
great
preventative
measure
to
control
mosquito
populations.
Vectobac
comes
in
both
a
liquid
and
granular
formation
for
your
desired
application.
