<strong>Registered</strong> <strong>Pesticides</strong> <strong>For</strong> <strong>Mosquito</strong> <strong>Control</strong><br />
To allow pesticide users to have more choices of less hazardous pesticides in mosquito control<br />
and to prevent the development of resistance to a particular pesticide, the Agriculture, Fisheries<br />
and Conservation Department has registered 5 new pesticides and relaxed the formulation and<br />
concentration restrictions of 3 registered pesticides. A listing of some registered pesticides that<br />
can be used for outdoor mosquito control is presented in the table below for easy reference.<br />
