Monroe County Mosquito Control is intensifying its prevention efforts countywide to reduce mosquito populations and the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses. The program employs ultra-low volume (ULV) spraying, larvicide distribution, public education, and mosquito population and disease transmission monitoring.

These measures aim to lower mosquito numbers and curb the spread of diseases like West Nile virus. Residents play a vital role by eliminating standing water on their properties, a crucial step in controlling local mosquito levels.
