Increasing the efficacy of pyrethroid insecticides in suburban mosquito management

This study is aiming to extend the effectiveness of pyrethroid adulticides to two months, compared to the typical one month effective time period. This was also done with the goal of reducing the frequency of adulticide applications in order to reduce insecticidal burdens in homeowner backyards. The first summer's work was inconclusive, therefore the number of houses has been expanded in order to increase the number of degrees of freedom.
