Abstract
Appropriate application of pesticides should include regular measurement of target insect susceptibility. This article reports outreach activities, emphasizing Web-based communications, with Florida mosquito control programs focusing on measuring the response of mosquitoes to pesticides. The benefits of this approach are reduced reliance on chemical control by considering alternatives such as larviciding and source reduction, as well as economic savings, when mosquito control programs use pesticides at minimum rates that give maximum control.
