Answer

$$ 8th \ Day \\ 2700 \ mosquitoes$$

Work Step by Step

We assume that the insecticide is no longer effective when the number of mosquitoes killed is less than 1. Continuing the series for day 7: $$ = \frac{7}{3} \\ =2.3$$ For the eight day: $$ = .8 \ mosquitoes$$ It is ineffective after 8 days. The total mosquitoes killed is: $$ =2096.4 + .8+2.3 \\ =2700 \ mosquitoes$$
