Program Services

The purpose of the program is to reduce the incidence of arthropod transmitted vector borne diseases in humans, primarily West Nile Virus.  

Special efforts are made to have potential breeding sites such as abandoned tires removed or larvicided.  On-going surveillance of the mosquito population is conducted.  Adulticiding (spraying/fogging) is conducted based upon surveillance.
