Abstract: The recent advancements of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) have allowed us to utilize drones as an integral part of our Integrated Pest Management plan at Benton County Mosquito Control located in Washington State. This includes the use of smaller drones to gather data and capture aerial imagery. In addition, we use larger drones to map and treat habitats that support the production of mosquitoes.
