How We Control Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes can spread dangerous diseases like West Nile, Dengue, and Zika. These diseases can affect people, pets, livestock, and wildlife.
We use the following tools to manage mosquitoes:
- Checking for mosquitoes across the county
- Testing for diseases they may carry
- Locating areas where mosquitos breed
- Applying treatments to manage both larval and adult mosquito populations
- Sharing information with the public
Clay County’s mosquito control services are provided by Vector Disease Control International (VDCI) and are available to all residents.
Are Mosquito Sprays Safe for Bees?
There is strong scientific evidence that mosquito sprays are safe when used correctly. The health benefits of mosquito control are greater than the risks when done by trained professionals using approved products. Spraying usually happens at night when bees are in their hives.
