Anastasia Mosquito Control

What Anastasia Mosquito Control does

Anastasia Mosquito Control District (AMCD) is an independent special district of the State of Florida, constituted under Florida Statute Chapter 189, that provides mosquito control, arbovirus surveillance, and community education services across the 609 square miles of St. Johns County, Florida. It is a political subdivision of the State — not a privately-held or investor-owned entity — funded primarily through local property tax revenues on St. Johns County parcels, with no direct fees charged to residents. Operations are governed by a five-member elected Board of Commissioners and led by Executive Director Dr. Rui-De Xue, who has held the role since April 2003.

AMCD's core operational model is an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program organized into three sections: (1) Surveillance — 41 CDC light traps baited with octanol set weekly across the county, a sentinel chicken program with weekly blood testing (confirmed at the Florida Department of Health Laboratory in Tampa), local mosquito testing for West Nile virus, Saint Louis encephalitis, and eastern equine encephalitis, plus environmental monitoring (rain, temperature, wind); (2) Ground Operations — St. Johns County is divided into 13 zones, each staffed by a licensed Mosquito Control Technician conducting truck-mounted ultra-low-volume (ULV) and thermal fogging applications, backpack spraying, BTI-based biological larvicide, Gambusia affinis mosquito fish release, and source reduction; and (3) Aerial Operations — helicopter-based larvicide and adulticide missions covering large or inaccessible areas. Service requests are accepted via phone and a 24/7 ArcGIS Survey123 online portal.

The district's go-to-market is direct-to-resident: every property owner in the 609-square-mile service area is by default a beneficiary, with no opt-in or purchase required. Supporting programs include free Community Education (school programs aligned with Next Generation Sunshine State Standards, HOA presentations, on-site tours), the Disease Vector Education Center (DVEC) public facility, and an Applied Research program publishing in collaboration with the American Mosquito Control Association and Florida Mosquito Control Association. The district also hosts an annual Arbovirus Surveillance and Mosquito Control Workshop, which has run for over two decades and is published in FMCA Technical Bulletins.

Operates a similar IPM model and is governed by an elected board — the most direct structural and operational comparable to AMCD.

AMCD is a member and workshop collaborator; provides industry standards, technical bulletins, and continuing education framing the wider professional ecosystem in which AMCD operates.
• Florida Medical Entomology Laboratory (UF/IFAS): University of Florida research lab providing scientific resources and technical expertise to mosquito control programs. AMCD partnership provides research collaboration; FMEL is the leading academic benchmark for AMCD's surveillance and applied research mission.
