Saginaw County Mosquito Abatement Commission

What Saginaw County Mosquito Abatement Commission does

Saginaw County Mosquito Abatement Commission (SCMAC) is a county-level government agency established in 1974 to provide integrated mosquito management services across Saginaw County, Michigan. The organization operates a multi-program service delivery model encompassing surveillance (including West Nile Virus monitoring via dead corvid reporting), larval control, adult control, aerial control, source reduction (including a tire collection program for breeding habitat removal), and public education. Operations run seasonally from May 1 through September 30, with year-round administrative functions. SCMAC employs 51-100 staff and is headquartered at 705 N Towerline, Saginaw, MI.

The agency's underlying technology infrastructure centers on Esri's ArcGIS platform, which powers public-facing interactive maps for adult treatment, larval treatment, and surveillance activities, as well as citizen reporting workflows (Survey123). A dedicated mobile application is available on iOS and Android, enabling residents to report mosquito nuisance, dead birds, and access service information. Citizen engagement extends to a website, Facebook, Instagram, and on-request community presentations. The digital stack is best characterized as a GIS-based operational transparency and citizen reporting system rather than a software platform product.

SCMAC is funded entirely through voter-approved property tax millage (most recently the 2022 Millage), with services provided free at point of use to all Saginaw County residents. As a public government entity, the organization holds no parent company, subsidiaries, or private ownership, and is not a candidate for venture investment, acquisition, or IPO. The revenue model is government millage taxation — there is no commercial pricing, contract structure, or per-unit fee.
