MOSQUITO CONTROL

The Mosquito Program has four components:

  • Education and Source Reduction. This component consists of cultural practices such as applying repellants and reducing mosquito breeding sites.
  • Surveillance entails trapping of mosquitoes to determine if the encephalitis virus is present.
  • Larviciding is the daytime treatment of standing water areas that breed mosquitoes.
  • Adulticiding is the evening spraying of residential streets to reduce the number of adult mosquitoes.

    The surveillance and larviciding components normally start in April while the adulticiding operations start in June. All operations are usually completed in September. These efforts are designed to reduce the possibility of an encephalitis outbreak.
To report areas of standing water (mosquito breeding sites), please call
(330) 923-8856
