Union County Vector Control uses an IPM approach to mosquito control. IPM stands for Integrated Pest Management, which simply means that multiple control measures are used instead of just one. When possible we try and use these options as a checklist and use physical controls first, then biological, and finally chemical. Education is an obvious first step in any endeavor and is especially important in an IPM program. Citizens can make an impact upon their immediate surroundings, which may not only benefit them, but also their neighbors. Proper watering practices, wearing repellent, and other steps can all reduce the impact mosquitoes have in our District.
Source Reduction is removing breeding sites or making them inhospitable for mosquitoes. This can be as simple as changing out water in a birdbath every 7 days...
Biological Controls are the implementation of natural predators of mosquitoes to help reduce overall populations. Unfortunately there are not many natural predators available that appear to work in mosquito control. Animals such as...
