What info can you give me about the chemicals used in the auto mister mosquito system?

Question

Since it was installed next door we are loosing fish in our pond, we have noticed that we no longer see frogs in our yard. I would like some info to encourage the neighbors not to use since this is a twice a day misting action it becomes a chronic exposure condition.

pyrethrins, piperonyl butoxide technical and octyl bicycloheptene dicarboximide
Have looked on internet but was hoping to find literature pertaining to chronic exposure, suposingly occassionally isn't bad but I'm fighting twice daily chronic exposure.

It is the pyrethin based system that sprays 4 times a day. All the info I can find says bad for folks with asthma (my husband) and wxtremely toxic to aquatic life. I was hoping to find someone that has gone up against a company like this and had some ammo to offer. I have already spoke with the Nat'l Institute Pesticide Control and they confirmed my fears but they are an impartial counsel and no real help there.

Answer 1

Your neighbors are likely to be using "malathion"
without knowing exactly how to use it. Talk to them
and let them know what is happening. As malathion
is used for mosquito's, it is toxic to fish and amphibians.

UPDATE:

go to www.cdms.net
click on AG-CROP....type malathion or
any other chemical name into search.
It has to be the chemical product name, not the ingredients
It will open up a screen with that chemical. Then click on
"label"or "msds". You can get your info from there.
If you have any problem email me [e-mail]

Answer 2

Is this the Arctic system? There are no chemicals involved, just carbon dioxide. The killing action is the mosquitoes being blasted against the jar sides by the fan.

If it is a system that is spraying a pesticide, then you have a two fold concern. The pesticide but more importantly........and what applies to the Arctic system........the lack of food for your animals.

Find out what system they have before you confront them.
