A Proven, Scientific Approach to Mosquito Control...
Because it is often impossible to eradicate all mosquitoes given their behavior patterns, resilient nature and enormous breeding potential, our goal is to manage mosquito populations within tolerable levels and simultaneously help prevent possible outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases. To achieve this goal, we use a combination of the most effective methods of controlling mosquitoes including surveillance, biological control and the use of insecticides. Inspection of the treatment area coupled with collections from mechanical traps enable us to determine which species of mosquito are present, their population size and locations. This information is critical for determining when, where, and how often larvicides and adulticides need to be applied.
At VDCI, we use insecticides approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for the control of larval and adult mosquitoes. These safe, effective insecticides can be delivered by means of ground or aerial application equipment. VDCI operates one of the largest privately owned fleets of full-time mosquito control aircraft in the U.S. Additionally, our larviciding aircraft can apply both liquid and granular larvicides over any aquatic habitat. Aerial application of insecticides over populated areas within county limits is performed using twin engine fixed-wing, instrumented-rated aircraft or rotary aircraft as required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). We are able to provide aerial application of larvicides and adulticides to an ever growing number of communities. We also operate a fleet of over 100 trucks and ATVs equipped with ULV machines capable of a quick response to any mosquito outbreak. All of our equipment, both ground and aerial, are equipped with the latest in GPS technology to provide detailed reporting on all applications.
