Mosquito Control Services

Mosquito control manages the population of mosquitoes to reduce their damage to human health, economies, and enjoyment. Mosquito control is a vital public-health practice throughout the world and especially in the tropics because mosquitoes spread many diseases, such as malaria and the Zika virus.

Mosquito-control operations are targeted to multiple problems:

• Nuisance mosquitoes bother people around homes or in parks and recreational areas;
• Economically important mosquitoes reduce real estate values, adversely affect tourism and related business interests, or negatively impact livestock or poultry production;
• Public health is the focus when mosquitoes are vectors, or transmitters, of infectious disease.
• Mosquito-born diseases can threaten endangered species.
