EPA has established specific precautions on the label to reduce such risks, including restrictions that prohibit the direct application of products to open water or within 100 feet of lakes, streams, rivers or bays.

Are there many areas of the US where it is possible to spray pyrethroids so that you are not within a hundred feet of any streams or ponds or any other bodies of open water. Where these areas what sort of mosquito problem do you have?
