Abstract

The Portsmouth, Rhode Island Mosquito Control Program used granular Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis to successfully control salt marsh mosquitoes in a 9 acre salt marsh while monitoring for, planning and implementing small scale open marsh water management in the marsh. Single season larviciding costs were roughly 4% that of contracted open marsh water management in this marsh.
