Permethrin and sumethrin are the main pesticides used for mosquito control by "sprayer trucks" in Cass County. They have many other uses, too. For example, both are applied to the human head to treat lice and are found in products applied to pets.

If spraying were to occur, the New York City Department of Health recommends that all individuals take the following precautions to avoid direct exposure to pesticides and reduce the risk of any reactions to pesticides: Some individuals are sensitive to pesticides.

In order to kill Hobo spiders with pesticides you usually have to hit the spider directly with large doses. The problem with non discriminate spraying is that you kill the good competitor and predator spiders and insects and thus make more room for the more mobile and hardy Hobo spider. This will often lead to a worse problem with Hobo spiders as I witnessed in 1997 in my own home.

Pesticides are registered by the Federal Government, but it is against the law to claim that they are "safe". Approval only means that pesticides are deemed not to pose "unacceptable" risk if used under particular circumstances, in particular ways. Many pesticides have never been evaluated with modern methods. Modern testing still does not investigate many mechanisms of toxicity.

Mosquitoes are lured to the trap via the Dynamic Flow Technology. Carbon Dioxide, Heat and Octenol are dispersed in the air imitating human breath, body heat, and faint odors from humans and animals. Once attractant the mosquitoes are sucked in by a powerful fan and get trapped in a capture chamber made up of a capture door and capture net.

However, by applying these products in a correct and responsible manner consistent with the product label and directions, there will be no danger posed to people, pets, or plants. Petri's trains its technicians in all aspects of safety when handling pesticides.
