Nighttime adult population suppression using truck-mounted adulticides can be effective. albopictus counts below a nuisance threshold. An integrated pest management approach can affect abundances, but labor-intensive, costly source reduction was not enough to maintain Ae. albopictus populations and the efficacy of the control methods tested. There are significant socioeconomic and climatic differences between urban and suburban sites that impact upon Ae. Egg catches echoed adult catches only in suburban sites. Education alone achieved significant reductions in urban adult Ae. albopictus populations was achieved in urban sites, but only modest reductions in suburban sites. Populations were surveyed weekly with BG-Sentinel traps and ovitraps. Active source reduction, larviciding, adulticiding and public education (source reduction through education) were implemented in one site in each county, an education-only approach was developed in a second site and a third site was used as an untreated experimental control. During the 2009 active season, six ∼1000-parcel sites were studied, three in urban and three in suburban areas of New Jersey, United States, to examine the efficacy of standard integrated urban mosquito control strategies applied area wide. The actual length ofcontrol depends on the duration and frequency offlooding events.Aedes ( Stegomyia) albopictus (Skuse) is an important disease vector and biting nuisance. In such areas, one application ofALTOSID XR-G can prevent adult mosquito emergencefrom several subsequent floodings. Granules may be applied prior toflooding (i.e., 11 pre-hatch 11or 11 pre-flood 11 ) in areas whichflood intermittently. Apply ALTOSID XR-G uniformly andrepeat application as necessary.NOTEALTOSID insect growth regulator has no effect onmosquitoes which have reached the pupal or adultstage prior to treatment.APPLICATION TIMEApply ALTOSID XR-G at any stage of larval mosquitodevelopment. Ground equipmentwhich will achieve even coverage at these rates mayalso be used. Treated larvae continue to develop normally tothe pupal stage where they die.Rotary and fixed-wing aircraft equipped with granularspreaders capable of applying rates listed below maybe used to apply ALTOSID XR-G. Applications should be continuedthroughout the entire season to maintain adequatecontrol. Do not contaminate water when disposing ofrinsate or equipment washwaters.DIRECTIONS FOR USEIt is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in amanner inconsistent with its labeling.GENERAL DIRECTIONSALTOSID® XR-G releases effective levels of ALTOSID®insect growth regulator for up to 21 days afterapplication. Using it in a manner otherthan that described by the label could result in harm toaquatic dipteran (mosquitoes) and chironomid(midges). Get medical attention ifirritation persists.ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDSThis product is toxic to aquatic dipteran (mosquitoes)and chironomid (midges). Due to the size andabrasiveness of the granule, use protective eyewearand clothing to minimize exposure during loadingand handling.FIRST AIDIn case of contact, immediately flush eyes or skinwith plenty of water. 2724-451KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDRENCAUTION1.5%98.5%100.0%PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTSHAZARDS TO HUMANSAND DOMESTIC ANIMALSCAUTIONAvoid contact with skin or eyes.
