Purpose:  Mosquito Control for the purpose of nuisance control.
Application Method:  Treatment of mosquito larva development sites by hand and aerial application. 
Location:    The areas to be included in this Pest Management Plan application are limited to public and private lands within the following existing program areas: 

• Public and Private lands within a 10km radius of the City of Cranbrook 

Pesticide:  Yearly totals up to, but not exceeding:

• 1,000 ha with Vectobac 200 G (PCP No. 18158) (Bacillus thuringiensis var israeliensis)

• 1,000 ha with Vectobac FG+ (PCP No. 34734) (Bacillus thuringiensis var israeliensis)

A selection of insecticides has been chosen to increase the ability to target mosquito populations in the most environmentally responsible method possible. All products listed are registered in Canada for the intended use. Bacillus thuringiensis var israeliensis has been chosen to control larval mosquitoes in their development sites. These pesticides are target specific, non-residual, and non-toxic.
