Description:

Data related to mosquito (mostly salt marsh Aedes) abatement activities for 30 East Coast districts for 1959 through 1971 were analyzed. A trend analysis was conducted on mosquito densities, temporary and permanent abatement work, total abatement expenditures and per capita abatement expenditures. A four-equation pest management model was utilized to examine the responsiveness of mosquito numbers to permanent and temporary abatement procedures and to analyze the factors affecting the demand for mosquito abatement. A regression model was employed to check for possible economies of scale in permanent and temporary abatement work. The estimated empirical results of these 2 models were then utilized to determine the relative effectiveness per dollar of permanent and temporary abatement expenditures in reducing the number of mosquitoes.
