Adulticide Product List

Altosid ALL 5%

Adulticide products are applied after sunset or before sunrise when adult mosquitoes are most active. The most common method of adulticiding is ultra-low volume (ULV) spraying. ULV spraying is the process of putting very small amounts of liquid into the air as a fine mist of droplets. These droplets float on the air currents and quickly eliminate mosquitoes that come into contact with them. We do not spray on a schedule, instead operations are planned based upon surveillance data. All adulticides used by Volusia County Mosquito Control are listed below with external links for more information:

• Biomist 30/30
• Bifen I/T
• DeltaGard
• Dibrom
• Duet
• Duet HD
• Fyfanon EW

• PermaSease 20-20
