Collier Mosquito Control District

What Collier Mosquito Control District does

Collier Mosquito Control District (CMCD) is an Independent Special District of the State of Florida, operating under Chapter 388 Florida Statutes, headquartered in Naples, Florida, with a secondary office in Immokalee. The district provides integrated mosquito management (IMM) services to protect public health and quality of life across Collier County by controlling both nuisance mosquitoes and disease vectors (dengue, West Nile, Zika). It is governed by a Board of five elected Commissioners serving four-year terms, and it employs between 11 and 50 staff including credentialed specialists in entomology and public health.

The district's core offering is the Integrated Mosquito Management program, which combines surveillance, source reduction, biological controls, chemical treatments, and community education across the mosquito life cycle. Its service portfolio includes citizen mosquito reporting, treatment notifications via text/voice/email, field technician property visits, free mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) distribution, barrier treatments, aerial mosquito control via aircraft, large treatment drones, Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) using X-ray sterilization (Rad Source Quastar), and GIS-based surveillance and treatment mapping via ArcGIS Experience Builder. The district also runs community education programs and speaker requests for HOAs and schools.

CMCD is funded entirely through ad valorem property taxes paid by Collier County residents and property owners, with no direct charges for services. The district's customer segment is the entire Collier County population, and it operates as a statutory monopoly within county boundaries. As a government special taxing district, CMCD is not subject to private investment, and its growth is tied to the local property tax base rather than commercial revenue mechanics.
