Mosquito&MidgeFlyControl

Aquatic Systems specializes in the application of non-toxic and biodegradable larvicides to control mosquito and swarming midge fly populations. Larviciding provides mosquito and midge fly control before these insects reach their adult stage and become a problem. Adult mosquitoes spread disease and midge fly swarms are a terrible nuisance that can trigger allergies and respiratory reactions.

The proper use of larvicides allows Aquatic Systems to provide its customers environmentally safe, long term and cost-effective reduction in the insect populations without affecting the food chain, fisheries or other non-target species. Additional mosquito control measures; include the stocking of lakes with the guppy Gambusia holbrokii. Gambusia readily consume mosquito larvae and are most effective in bright open waters devoid of aquatic weeds and algae allowing them to see and catch the larvae. Gambusia, however, feed on other organisms besides mosquitoes and may eat the eggs of other fish species. Long term midge fly control can greatly benefit from the installation of a Vertex bottom aeration system. Vertex aeration will oxidize and remove the nutrients and suspended organic matter that midge fly larvae depend on.
