Protecting Yourself Against Mosquitos
The City has an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Washington County Mosquito Control for managing mosquitoes utilizing an integrated mosquito management strategy (IMM).
The goal of IMM is to maintain tolerable levels of mosquito populations using sound environmental practices. This goal is achieved by: education, mosquito surveillance, source reduction, habitat modification, biological control methods, and treating mosquito-breeding areas with public health pesticides.
Some quick ideas for helping out with these pests are:
- Consider staying indoors at dawn and in the early evening, which are peak mosquito biting times.
- Use head nets, long sleeves and long pants if you venture into areas with high mosquito populations, such as salt marshes.
- Make sure windows and doors are screened and "bug tight".
For more information you can contact Washington County Mosquito Control at 503.846.2904.
