A larvicide attacks the mosquito while they are still living under water. An adulticide attacks flying mosquitoes. The parks will be posted with a yellow sign at application of the pesticides. These signs will remain up for 24 hours past application. Parks: Wet areas, open drains and retention ponds in the parks will receive four applications of the larvicide Vectolex CG every thirty days starting in May. The parks will receive five applications of the adulticide Biomist 4 + 12 in open areas and Anvil 2 + 2 around streams, drains and other open bodies of water, every thirty days starting in May.

Briquets are dropped into the drains in May. 70,ti4weed aptel 7/1441,4ti0 &ewe Culex pipens is the mosquito that carries West Nile Virus. While Culex mosquitoes can breed in wetlands, their numbers are greatly reduced by naturally occurring diseases and predators that exist in these wetlands. Often these natural controls only exist in an area because of the neighborhood wetlands. Some feel wetlands should be filled in and drained. While that might give limited short- term control, in the long run it could actually increase the number of Culex mosquitoes in the environment. Filling and draining would destroy some of the mosquito's habitat, but it also kills the diseases and predators that help control Culex mosquitoes. Culex mosquitoes are opportunistic breeders, preferring man-made habitats to the natural ones. Man-made habitats are the primary source of Culex mosquitoes. ANYTHING that holds water for ten or more days can act as a breeding site. A few examples of man-made habitats are: o House gutters • Bird baths / water fountains • Pet dishes o Flower pots that do not drain o Wheel barrels o Discarded tires o Unused swimming pools a Flat roofs that do not drain completely o Children's toys o Rain barrels o Abandoned cars or other equipment o Tree holes o Watering cans o Storm drains o Buckets and other empty containers o ANYTHING, absolutely anything that holds water for ten or more days! Man-made habitats are everywhere and create breeding sites that allow the disease carrying Culex mosquito to proliferate in our communities. Every Troy resident should check their property weekly and eliminate breeding sites. Report to the City any potential sites you are aware of. 714eg9 Iptded Reizetivez sam • Use enough repellent to cover exposed skin or clothing. Don't apply repellent to skin that is under clothing. Heavy application is not necessary to achieve protection. Based on recent studies: O A product containing 23.8% DEET provided an average of 5 hours of protection O A product containing 20% DEET provided almost 4 hours of protection o A product with 6.65% DEET provided almost 2 hours of protection O Products with 4.75% DEET and 2% soybean oil were both able to provide roughly 1 1/2 hour of protection • The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that a cautious approach is to use products with a low concentration of DEET, 10% or less, on children aged 2 — 12. When using repellent on a child: O Apply it to your own hands and then rub them on your child. O Avoid children's eyes and mouth and use it sparingly around their ears. O Do not apply repellent to children's hands. Children tend to put their hands in their mouths. o Do not allow young children to apply insect repellent to themselves. • Do not apply repellent to cuts, wounds, or irritated skin • After returning indoors, wash treated skin with soap and water. • Do not spray aerosol or pump products in enclosed areas. • Do not apply aerosol or pump products directly to your face. Spray your hands and then rub them carefully over the face, avoiding eyes and mouth. • Mosquitoes may bite through thin fabric. DEET or other repellents such as permethrin can also be applied to clothing (don't use permethrin on skin). • Poison control center 1-800-222-1222 How to Real,we title Rislz of etti,IA,0 west Nile \Arks Drain standing water in your yard. Empty water from mosquito breeding sites, such as flower pots, pet bowls, clogged rain gutters, swimming pool covers, discarded tires, buckets, barrels, cans and similar items in which mosquitoes can lay eggs. Minimize activities in areas where mosquitoes are present such as shaded areas. Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants outdoors. Use insect repellent containing no more than 35% DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide). When using insecticide or insect repellent, follow manufacturer's directions for use. Avoid using repellent on children under 2 years of age. On children 2-6 years of age, repellants should be used sparingly and contain only 10% DEET. Be careful using repellent on the hands of older children because repellents may irritate the eyes and mouth. • Maintain window and door screening to keep mosquitoes out of buildings. • Report dead crows to Oakland County Health Division's Information Line at 877-377-3641. vocLi,vte -For west Nile Evzepk2LitLs. 9we..ver, foLLowi,A,g tl/iese ptAldeL.,nes i/ot,c (At v-eoit,tee the rilsiz of e,coviiti,v1„2,+ "t.vvfecteo"..
