ABSTRACT
Two ball fields in Carver were treated in August with
Flit 10EC. The chemical was applied
using a backpack sprayer to the vegetation surrounding the fields. The efficacy of the treatments was examined
through observation and cage experiments.
We estimate that the treatment effectively reduced the number of biting
mosquitoes for 2 to 3 weeks.
