Golfcrest Country Club Estates
2004 MOSQUITO CONTROL PROGRAM
The
mosquito control program is in progress.
Timing
Spraying began in early June, Golfcrest
Country Club Estates will usually be sprayed late on
Thursday nights, (weather permitting) utilizing off-road
vehicles.
Treatment
The weekly treatment is called Ultra Low Volume (ULV)
fogging. Bio-Mist 3+15 or Anvil 2+2 is the pesticide used.
Advanced Pest Management (APM) performs these applications
from off road vehicles and or from a truck where
applicable. The larger the area treated, the better the
effectiveness of the ULV application. The ULV application
is a knockdown treatment, which eliminates the adult
mosquito upon contact with the fog. To ensure adequate
coverage in your neighborhood, APM encourages maximum
participating in the ULV fogging program.
The Harborage
Barrier treatment is an optional procedure for those
residents that have dense vegetation around their homes.
Adult mosquitoes utilize vegetation as a resting place
during the day. Tempo 20WP is applied to the vegetation
from a power backpack. Once applied, the vegetation will
absorb the Tempo20WP and will form a barrier, which is
effective in control of mosquito migration into the
treated perimeter. The barrier procedure is performed
during the daylight hours, and will last for approximately
12-14 days. APM recommends residents start with the night
ULV applications, then if additional control is desired
order the Harborage Barrier applications by calling APM.
Typically, residents with dense vegetation order 6
Harborage Barrier applications for a season: 2 each in
June, July, and August. For further information call
810-735-8731.
Cost
The cost for the 2004 season will be $150.00 per
residence for ULV and $45.00 per application per house for
the Harborage Barrier.
*Note:
Harborage Barrier can be ordered up front or on as desired
basis.

Risk Benefit
Information
Introduction
Regulation 637, Pesticide Use, was promulgated under the
authority of the Pesticide Control Act (Act 171, Public
Acts of 1976, as amended). It became effective on October
29, 1993 and will be enforced by the Michigan Department
of Agriculture (MDA), Pesticide and Plant Pest Management
Division. Regulation 637 will impact all pesticide
applicators, but most notably certified commercial
applicators and commercial applicator firms. The following
is a required addendum to this APM mosquito control
proposal/contract in accordance with MDA Regulation 637.
Definition:
Pesticide - a substance or agent used to kill pests such
as insects, weeds, etc.
Pesticides
are used to control undesirable, nuisance, and sometimes,
dangerous pests. Natural predators, disease and
environmental conditions help to control pest populations.
When natural controls are insufficient, pesticides are
used to reduce the populations to acceptable levels.
One
or more of the following pesticides are applied by APM
per this proposal/contract to control mosquitoes
representing the subfamilies Anophelinae and Culicinae.
Larvicides
Vectobac
(Bacillus thuringiensis var. israclensis or Bti.) - A
microbial insecticide which utilizes protein crystals
cultured from bacterial spores. When ingested by mosquito
larvae, the protein crystals cause lethal biochemical
changes. Bti. granules are applied via power backpack to
actively breeding sites at a rate of 2.5 - 5.0 pounds per
acre. CAUTION KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
Altosid
(Methoprene) - A biochemical Insect Growth Regulator which
causes a lethal disruption in the mosquito's metamorphic
development. The application rate is one 30-day residual
briquet per catch basin. CAUTION KEEP OUT OF REACH OF
CHILDREN
Adulticides
Biomist
3+15
ULV
(Permethrin 3% + Pipcronyl Butoxide 15%) - A synthetic
pyrethroid insecticide which inhibits neural transmissions
in targeted adult mosquitoes. Biomist is applied via
truck-mounted Ultra Low Volume equipment along rural and
residential roads. The application rate is 1.0 fluid ounce
per acre. CAUTION KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
Anvil
2+2 ULV
(Sumithrin 2%
+ Piperonyl
Butoxide 2%) — A synthetic pyrethroid insecticide which
inhibits neural transmissions in targeted adult
mosquitoes. Anvil is applied via truck-mounted Ultra Low
\‘olume equipment along rural and residential roads. The
application rate is 1 .0 fluid ounce per acre. CAUTION
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Tempo
2OWP Residual Barrier (Cyfluthrin,
cyano(4-fluoro-3-phenoxyphenyl)methyl
3-(2,2-dichloroethenyl)-2.2-dimetbylcyclopropanecarboxvlate
20%) A broad spectrum insecticide for control of crawling,
flying, and wood destroying insect pests for indoor and
outdoor surfaces. A 0.05 %-O. 1% active ingredient
concentration solution is applied. CAUTION KEEP
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
General
Exposure Information
If
swallowed: Call a physician or Poison Control Center
immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless otherwise
directed to do so per the pesticide label Do not give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If on skin: Immediately wash with plenty of soap
and water. Get medical attention.
If in eyes: Flush with plenty of water for IS
minutes. Get medical attention.
If inhaled: Remove to fresh air if symptoms of
exposure sickness appear and get medical attention
immediately.
Always
seek medical attention if an unusual condition develops
following exposure to a pesticide.
Practicing
common sense precautionary measures is the best action
against pesticide exposure. Do not touch any surface which
has been treated until the pesticide is dry. Remove
yourself from the area being treated such as going
indoors, closing windows, etc.. for at least 30 minutes
Consult your pesticide applicator for exposure
precautions.
Environmental
Fate
Pesticides
have been greatly improved in the area of environmental
acceptability since the days of long-term residual
insecticides such as DDT. All of the insecticides used in
APM mosquito control programs are environmentally
acceptable. Numerous acceptable and natural biological
larval mosquito control agents have been implemented as
part of APM's state-of-the art integrated pest management
programs. Bti. is
a larvicide which utilizes a natural biological active
ingredient that is completely non-toxic and very insect
specific. Other larvicides such as Altosid
and Abate are
used to control mosquitoes and disease in drinking water.
ULV adulticides can biodegrade completely in as little as
4
hours. Pesticides formulated with residual
properties are designed to biodegrade more slowly. This
permits the pesticide to come in contact with more target
pests thereby increasing its effectiveness. However, even
these residual pesticides are formulated to biodegrade
over a relatively short period of time. The physical
environmental fates of pesticides vary due to the
influences of other environmental conditions. These
conditions may in elude soil pH, UV radiation, rainfall,
microbial action and others. Overall, the pesticides
applied by APM are low toxicity. biodegradable, and
environmentally acceptable materials.
