Products and services

• Larviciding Application of larvicides to standing water sources (bird baths, ditches, marshes) to control juvenile mosquitoes before they become biting adults. Deployed by trucks, helicopters, and hand equipment during daytime and by truck-based sprayers in evening hours (sunset to 2 a.m.). Targets potential disease-vector species including Aedes aegypti.
• Adulticiding Control of flying adult mosquitoes using Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) techniques via trucks, helicopters, or airplanes, applying less than one ounce of product per acre with droplets smaller than 100 microns. Conducted between sunset and 2 a.m. when mosquitoes are most active, using EPA-approved products applied per label instructions.
• Mosquito Fish Distribution Distribution of native freshwater mosquito fish (Gambusia holbrooki) capable of consuming up to 300 mosquito larvae per day. Fish are raised year-round and released in summer months; residents may request fish for ornamental ponds, bird baths, fountains, and animal troughs, with pickup Monday-Friday at headquarters.
• Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) Release of lab-reared, sterilized male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that mate with wild female populations to suppress the Aedes aegypti mosquito population without the use of genetic modification.
• Disease Monitoring Early-warning disease surveillance using 18 strategically placed sentinel chicken coops throughout Lee County, with blood testing for West Nile Virus, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, and St. Louis Encephalitis, plus sampling and testing of mosquitoes collected in traps throughout the county.
• Mosquito Education Programs Classroom and community mosquito education delivered through a 30+ year partnership with the School District of Lee County by three certified teachers, reaching over 20,000 students annually across kindergarten, grade 5, grade 7, and high school biology, plus private schools, career days, and summer camps.
• Source Reduction Education Public education service instructing residents on eliminating standing-water habitats around homes (bird baths, trash cans, discarded tires, clogged gutters, bromeliad plants, flowerpot bases), with the rule that any container holding water for more than 5 days should be emptied.
• Tire Disposal Program Residential tire disposal service accepting two car tires per week with regular household garbage to eliminate discarded-tire mosquito breeding habitats, addressing species that transmit Zika, dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, and dog heartworm.
