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.

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.

You can ask for mosquito spraying by visiting the Clay Connected website.

What to expect after submitting a request for service:

1. With your permission, a mosquito control technician will conduct a thorough inspection of your property and surrounding areas.
2. The technician will identify mosquito breeding sites and any potential breeding sites and develop a treatment plan.
3. If adult mosquitoes are found, mosquito spraying (called Ultra-Low Volume ULV operations) will be scheduled for your area.
