Small objects can be coated with imbedded larvicide or larvicide and adulticide combination, which can be dropped in water-holding containers which can leach out pesticide over time which prevents mosquitoes from breeding in the water-holding containers. The small objects can be on the adhesive side of peel and stick type tape to form a peel and stick mosquitocidal chip (PSMC), which can be applied to the inner sides and/or bottoms of vessels/containers that can be exposed to water. A tape type roll can include an upper protective layer that protects a coating on a strip, the coating being a polymer coating having imbedded pesticide with or without silica. Under the strip can be an adhesive surface that is protected by a removable lower protective layer. Removing the lower protective layer can allow for the strip to be applied to water exposed surfaces for the treatment of mosquitoes. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of applying mosquito pesticide coated objects into water holding areas, comprising the steps of: providing a polymer coating with an imbedded pesticide, the pesticide comprising at least a larvicide which directly kills mosquito larvae over time; applying the polymer coating with the imbedded pesticide to a surface on a side of a strip; exposing an adhesive surface on another side of the strip; and applying the adhesive surface of the strip against a surface that is exposed to water; and leaching out the larvicide into the water to treat and directly kill the mosquito larvae over time. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the strip is selected from paper, plastic, cloth and rubber. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: providing a lower removable protective layer for covering the adhesive surface, wherein removing the lower protective layer allows for the strip to adhered to the surface. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of: providing an upper removable protective layer for covering the insecticide surface, wherein removing the upper protective layer allows for releasing the insecticide. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the surface is selected from the group consisting of containers, aquariums, flower pots, water holding dishes used under plant pots, vases, bird baths, and fountains and storm water inlets. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the pesticide further includes: an adulticidal coating with the larvicidal coating, which together kills both adult mosquitoes and their larvae over time. ### Claim 7 A peel and stick pesticide-coated treatment device to kill mosquitoes, comprising: a strip treated with a polymer coating having a pesticide embedded in the coating, the pesticide comprising at least a larvicide which directly kills mosquito larvae over time; an adhesive surface on the strip; and a lower protective layer covering the adhesive surface, wherein removing the protective layer allows the strip to be applied to a water exposed surface for directly treating mosquito larvae over time. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The peel and stick pesticide coated treatment device of claim 7, wherein the strip includes: a patch. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The peel and stick pesticide coated treatment device of claim 7, wherein the strip includes: a roll of strips. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The peel and stick pesticide treatment device of claim 9, wherein the roll of strips includes: perforations for separating a plurality of strips from one another. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The peel and stick pesticide coated treatment device of claim 9, further comprising: a dispenser for housing the roll of strips. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The peel and stick pesticide coated treatment device of claim 11, wherein the dispenser includes: a cutting edge for allowing a section of the roll to be torn off. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The peel and stick pesticide coated treatment device of claim 9, wherein the strip includes: a top protective layer for protecting the coating having the pesticide, the top layer being removed to allow the pesticide to be released. ### Claim 14 (depends on 7) The peel and stick pesticide coated treatment device of claim 7, wherein the pesticide further includes: an adulticide with the larvicide which together kills both adult mosquitoes and their larvae over time. ### Claim 15 A peel and stick pesticide coated treatment device, comprising: a plurality of chips, each chip having an upper surface with a polymer coating imbedded with a pesticide and silica, the pesticide comprising at least a larvicide which directly kills mosquito larvae over time; an adhesive surface on a lower surface of each chip, wherein the adhesive surface allows for the chip to be adhered to a water exposed surface for treatment against mosquito larvae. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The peel and stick pesticide of claim 15, wherein each chip further comprises: a removable upper protective layer for protecting the polymer coating imbedded with the pesticide and silica; and a removable lower protective layer for protecting the adhesive surface. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The peel and stick pesticide of claim 16, wherein the removable lower protective layer includes: a single elongated strip forming the removable lower protective layer for the plurality of chips. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) A peel and stick pesticide coated treatment device of claim 15, wherein the pesticide further includes: an adulticide with the larvicide which together kills both adult mosquitoes and their larvae over time.
