Abstract
The control of aquatic insects can be accomplished by the careful application of an insect control unit into a treatment site in a treatment locus. A careful application of a defined amount of pest control in a pest control unit can effectively control flying insects emerging from aquatic environments with reduced use of control agents and reduced environmental impact.

A method of controlling aquatic insects in a treatment locus, the method comprises selecting a treatment locus, obtaining a measure of the surface area of the locus and distributing one or more insect control units per each 50 to 8000 m2 of the locus surface to one or more defined locations, said unit comprising greater than about 0.25% of a control agent;
- wherein the locus is controlled by placing about 3 to 100 grams of a mosquito control agent per 8000 m2 in the defined location.
An aquatic insect control unit comprising:
- (a) an effective amount of a pesticide to treat an area of less than about 8000 m2 in a treatment locus;
- (b) a particulate carrier, the carrier comprising at least a portion of the pesticide;
- and
- (c) an envelope containing the pesticide and carrier.
