Throughout
the season we actively search for mosquitoes in their
habitat in order to effectively and efficiently distribute
our limited quantity of product. As our district comprises
over 600 square miles, we coordinate our resources using GIS
maps and GPS systems.

Adult Surveillance
Our
surveillance program utilizes numerous CO2 traps which
attract and collect mosquitoes in localized areas. This
allows us to monitor the populations throughout the district
and is the basis for detecting any disease within our
borders.

Lab Work
A recent
addition to our operations is a lab facility which will
allow staff an area to identify the mosquito species we
collect and any disease they may carry.
