How Do Mosquito Control Centers Address Insecticide Resistance?
Mosquito Control Center address insecticide resistance by rotating different classes of insecticides and developing new formulations to prevent mosquitoes from adapting to a single treatment. They conduct regular resistance monitoring to identify areas where resistance is emerging. By using an integrated pest management (IPM) approach, which combines chemical treatments with biological controls and habitat modification, control centers reduce reliance on insecticides. This multi-faceted strategy ensures long-term effectiveness in managing mosquito populations and minimizes the risk of developing resistance.
