Once the presence of mosquito larvae has been detected in a specific focus and confirmed by the laboratory as the species to be taken into account, the phase of its control is passed.
Every morning a talk is established where the technicians, zone managers, treaters and prospectors fine-tune the tasks to be carried out and the priority to be established based on the larval development observed for each focus.
With the help of cartography, flood data and the accessibility of the source, the most suitable treatment medium to use is established.
It always starts from the use as raw material of Bacillus thurigiensis as a product of biological origin, and with great specificity as a culicide larvicide in various formulations, whether liquid or granulated, the application medium being diverse.
Small and accessible spotlights can be easily treated on foot and with backpacks.
When the focus is accessible but of considerable size, motorized means such as pick-up or tractor can be used.
If the outbreaks are inaccessible and of considerable size and at the same time we find ourselves in a temporary situation or with the conjunction of many foci to be treated, an aerial treatment medium will be used, always taking into account the climatological and area limitations that allow us a perfect application.
We must remember in capital letters that mosquitoes do not stop their larval development and that the fact of controlling them with biological products that work thanks to their ingestion greatly conditions the optimal period for their correct control, before they become mosquitoes. adults, move and begin to generate problems.
Once the treatment has been carried out, a treatment sheet is completed specifying the place treated, the medium used, the amount of product used, etc. These data will be entered in the general database of the service.
The next day and following the prospecting regime of the outbreaks, the effectiveness that it has achieved will be verified.
