Pest Organisms / Yellow Fever Mosquito
When Not To Treat
Confirm the mosquito and find its breeding water before reaching for an adulticide. Eliminating that water is the most effective, least chemical-heavy step, so a single biting mosquito with no larval source found calls for inspection and source reduction first, not blanket spraying. Adulticiding is a targeted supplement near homes, never a substitute. Source: https://extension.msstate.edu/publications/pest-snapshot-yellow-fever-mosquito-aedes-aegypti
