REPORT STAGNANT WATER
Help stop the breeding of mosquitoes before it starts! Report stagnant water by calling 265-1500 or log in to our 24 hour contact form. (When the form pops up, click Category and select West Nile Virus, then click Service and select Report Standing Water, as shown below.)

Either way, our mosquito control personnel will treat stagnant water that shows visible signs of mosquito larva with larvicides that prevent immature mosquitos from reaching adulthood.
