Harold Gunderson, Iowa State College extension entomologist, urges oiling roadside pools and shallow ponds to curb larvae and protect livestock and people. Do not oil minnow-containing ponds. cattle spray can repel adults briefly. Vaccination of horses is essential, as immunity from prior vaccines fades after about a year.
