Mosquito Control District

A Mosquito Control District is a local government agency responsible for reducing mosquito populations and preventing mosquito-borne diseases. They use methods such as targeted fogging, larviciding, and habitat management to control mosquitoes in a specific area. The goal is to protect public health and improve quality of life by minimizing mosquito nuisances and the risk of illnesses like West Nile virus or Zika. Districts operate based on public support and often fund their efforts through local taxes or assessments, collaborating with residents, businesses, and public health agencies for effective mosquito management.
