The City of Renton to Apply Mosquito Control Pesticides
The City of Renton may use mosquito larvicides and adulticides to help control
mosquitoes in accordance with the Washington State Department of Ecology's Aquatic
Mosquito Control General Permit. The larvicide, Vectol-ex, is made of a natural
bacterium, the active ingredient being Bacillus sphaericus 2362, Serotype H5a5b, strain
ABTS 1743. The adulticide, Aqualuer 20-208, contains active ingredients Permethrin and
Piperonyl Butoxide. Treatments may occur between June 10, 2019 and September 30,
2019. Larvicide treatment will generally occur in stormwater facilities and catch basins
owned or maintained by the City. Adulticide treatment areas are generally located in
upland areas east of SR-167 and west of Lake Avenue South/Talbot Road South between
the 3900 block of Talbot Road South to the south and 1-405 to the north, within the City
of Renton, Washington. Information about the larvicides, adulticides, and a map of the
specific locations are available at https://www.rentonwa.gov/mosquitoabatement.
