Stormwater solutions for mosquito abatement professionals

In this video, Katie Johns, editor-in-chief of Stormwater Solutions, is joined by Dan Killingsworth, technical services specialist, Vector/PCO at Central Life Sciences. Together, they discuss the challenges mosquito control professionals face with stormwater infrastructure, particularly in storm drains and catch basins. The conversation covers the complexities of managing mosquito populations in stormwater systems, emphasizing how these areas, with their tendency to pool water, create ideal conditions for mosquito larvae development.

Killingsworth highlights the importance of innovative mosquito control solutions, such as methoprene-based insect growth regulators, which can effectively target immature mosquito larvae in catch basins. He also shares insights into the role of regular inspections and maintenance in reducing mosquito breeding sites and improving stormwater infrastructure's overall effectiveness.

For mosquito control professionals and stormwater management teams, understanding these challenges and solutions is critical to effective mosquito abatement.
