Mosquitoes
We monitor mosquitoes by using specialized traps and by sampling water sources throughout the county. We control mosquitoes based on threshold levels that are determined by mosquito species (transmit disease) and their proximity to human populations.
We try to treat mosquitoes while they are larvae (immature aquatic stage) to prevent them from developing into adults that can fly around, bite people, and spread disease. We offer free mosquito-eating fish to help control larval mosquitoes in your backyard pond.
