Mosquito Control Services

Larvacide Operations

The primary responsibility of a Larvacide technician is to routinely check for potential breeding sites, which include source reduction, tire abatement, investigation, inspection and analysis of property and environmental conditions with corresponding chemical and biological suppression (Gambusia Minnows) of mosquito populations in the larva and pupa stage of development. Our technicians are available during the day to assist the citizens of Bay County with concerns.

Education 

The Division also develops and conducts presentations, obtains and distributes public information materials in an effort to promote public awareness on the proper measures that should be taken to eliminate mosquito breeding sites and provide personal protection
