Dan Mooney, a Clarke Mosquito Contol technician, sprays a synthetic pyrethroid as he drives through a northeast Ocala neighborhood on Northeast 32nd Avenue in Ocala, Fla. on Wednesday, July 16, 2008. The pyrethroid spray is a synthetic chemical insecticide, similar to pyrethrins. It is derived from chrysanthemum flowers. The pyrethroid, mixed with a synergist compound and water or oil, is sprayed in an ultra low volume spray and dispenses very fine aerosol droplets that stay aloft and kill adult mosquitoes on contact. Clarke Mosquioto Control, whose closest operation office is located in Putnam County, is contracted to spray 38 different zones in the City of Ocala. (Star-Banner Photo/NYTRENG, Bruce ACKERMAN).
