MISSION STATEMENT: Under the administration of the Parks and Recreation Department, the overall goal of the Mosquito Control Division is to enhance the public's health and welfare by safely reducing mosquito populations to a reasonable threshold of annoyance and to maintain control of the potential for the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases. This goal is accomplished through an integrated pest management program incorporating physical, chemical, and in warranted cases, biological control methodologies based upon a thorough and accurate surveillance program. These methodologies include instantaneous mosquito reduction with repeated applications of State-approved insecticides, general maintenance of existing waterways (drainage ditches, streams, and rivers) utilizing handheld tools and the introduction of mosquito predators (depending upon the absence of mosquito predators indigenous to mosquito breeding habitats) and public education.
