What Have We Learned: A Conversation on 15 Years of Spinosad Use in Public Health Symposium
Utilization of organic approved spinosad-based larvicides by the Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District
The Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District (Sac-Yolo MVCD) places a strong emphasis on effective mosquito control and achieves this by using a wide range of methods and mosquito control products. The total number of organic acres has increased steadily over the years and drastically limits the mosquito control products that are available for use on organic registered properties. The use of Organic Material Review Institute (OMRI) approved larvicides such as Spinosad plays a large role in achieving mosquito control on these organic properties. The Sac-Yolo MVCD works to strike a balance between respecting the landowners organic credentials and the effective use of products to control the mosquitoes produced on organic property. This presentation will focus on the variety of uses and efficacy of Spinosad based materials in its daily operations.
