Mosquito Control
The Mosquito Control Section provides a direct service to approximately
2,100 communities in 22 Maryland counties and Baltimore City. The primary goal
of this program is to prevent the occurrence of mosquito-borne disease in humans,
pets and livestock. Mosquito control is an economic necessity in some parts of
Maryland dependent on outdoor tourism during the summer. The program relies on
surveys and monitoring of the larval and adult mosquito populations to
coordinate control activities. Control techniques include breeding source
reduction, public education, biological control and insecticide applications
from aircraft or ground equipment.
