Mosquito Control
Mosquito Control was established in 1985 following voter approval of a countywide abatement millage. We moved to our current location after the flood of 1986 where we lost all of our equipment and supplies.
This goal is accomplished through the systematic and timely application of effective and economical mosquito control techniques. Modern mosquito control involves integration of a variety of methods to reduce mosquito bites and can be done in an environmentally acceptable manner through the use of physical methods, personal protection measures, biological controls, and appropriate and judicious application of insecticides. Mosquito control should involve careful consideration of the biology of the mosquitoes that are causing the nuisance problem or disease threat. In all cases, larval mosquito control should be considered as the first option. This involves location of larval habitats, to reduce their numbers. By dealing with larval mosquitoes, the adults may never become a problem. Adult mosquito control invariably involves the use of insecticides.
