Applications

1. emephos is an organophosphate (OP) pesticide registered by EPA in 1965 to control mosquito larvae, and it is the only organophosphate with larvicidal use. 2. It is an important resistance management tool for mosquito control programs; its use helps prevent mosquitoes from developing resistance to the bacterial larvicides. 3. Temephos is used in areas of standing water, shallow ponds, swamps, marshes, and intertidal zones. 4. It may be used along with other mosquito control measures in an IPM program. Abate is the trade name of the temephos product used for mosquito control. 5. Temephos is applied most commonly by helicopter but can be applied by backpack sprayers, fixed-wing aircraft, and right-of way sprayers in either liquid or granular form.
