North Morrow Vector Control

By Greg Barron, Manager North Morrow Vector Control
In this day and age it is most convenient to control insects, such as a
pesky mosquito in the house, by reaching for an aerosol can of insecticide
and zapping the critter Chemicals have become a daily pari of our lives,
so why should mosquito control he any different? Fortunately, we have other
methods besides chcmcials to control mosquitos for example biological
control. By introducing mosquito larva and pupae to fish called Gambusia
affinis, wc try to integrate our mosquito control methods instead of using
just one type of control Mosquitofish. Gambusia alfims. are with**ut a douN
(he most commonly used fish used for mosquito control in the world
Gambusia give birth to few hut hardy fry A female after mating give*
birth in 23-24 day* A brood is bom every three to six weeks during the
summer Fifty to 200 young per female are common (iamhusu live as long
as five years in the laboratory Adult mosquitofish have been reported to
consume as many as 230 mosquito larva and pupae in one hour
We at North Morrow Vector Control use these fish where chemicals arc
unacceptable The fish provide permanent control in localized sites about
the home such as fish ponds, troughs, swimmin? pools and natural water
ways They have been used on irrigation patures and other large areas with
mixed results We have found that winter freezing greatly affects the populu
non of the fish If the surface of a pond containing Gambusia freezes their
oxygen supply will soon be depleted and they will suffocate Wc use submer
sihlc pumps in our rearing ponds to prevent hi* Watering trough healers
also help to keep the water surface unfrozen If a pond freezes and kills
the Gambusia the only thing we can do is replace them in the spring
Although mosquitofish favor mosquito larva, they are unfortunately can
mhalistic and will feed on their own offspring Birds, other fish, insects,
reptiles and amphibians also prey upon Gambusia Mosquitofish should he
handled with a minimum of stress Rapid temperature changes should be
avoided Mature fish adapt arid establish themselves better to habitat changes
A stocking rate of 300 fish/acre proves effective against mosquitos Trial
and error is often required to determine an effective rate
If you are a resident of North Morrow County wc at North Morrow Vector
Control will deliver die fish to your residence this spring and thru the sum
mer as needed If you live outside our district simply call us at 481 6082
and arrange a time that you can pick up your own mosquitofish Die fish
are free to the public so call us at 481 6082 this spring and we ll get ahead
