✔✔mosquito surveys can be used to determine - ✔✔relative abundance of important
disease vectors in an area
✔✔landing collections determine primarily - ✔✔biting activity
✔✔most adult mosquitoes are active during - ✔✔Dawn and Dusk
✔✔two types of resting stations are utilized in mosquito surveillance - ✔✔Natural and
artificial
✔✔new jersey light trap is known for its - ✔✔ease of use

desired
✔✔in most cases, the most efficient control of mosquito populations is - ✔✔larviciding
✔✔using aircraft for larviciding is - ✔✔possible with both rotary and fixed wing versions
✔✔application of adulticides with ULV methods should be done when - ✔✔temp is
above 55 degrees and wind speed is below 10mph
✔✔a hand-held broadcast spreader is - ✔✔used for application of larvicide in hard-to-
access areas
✔✔insecticide evaluations in a mosquito control operation are important for - ✔✔testing
the effectiveness of new application techniques
✔✔evaluation of a new insecticide formulation for adulticiding would likely include -
✔✔sentinel caged mosquitoes
✔✔what larvicide would NOT be evaluated by taking pre- and post-treatment dipper
samples in the field - ✔✔Methoprene (growth regulator)
