New research indicates mosquito spraying is causing insect resistance. Genetic markers for resistance are now widespread across many residential blocks. This resistance is more prevalent in wealthier neighborhoods where spraying occurs frequently. Overuse of chemicals is making insecticides less effective over time. Integrated pest management offers a more sustainable solution for mosquito control.
