Localized adult mosquito control is done to reduce mosquito annoyance and disease vector populations. MMCD uses pyrethroids which are similar to the natural botanical insecticides derived from chrysanthemums.

Adult mosquito control supplements the larval control program. Adulticide applications are performed after sampling detects mosquito populations meeting threshold levels, primarily in high use park and recreations areas, for public events, or in response to citizen mosquito annoyance reports.
