Information on the County’s use of mosquito treatment products.
Nevada County does not have a mosquito abatement district. The County’s Agricultural and Environmental Health Departments have an active mosquito treatment program and the Public Health Department provides mosquito and West Nile virus education programs. Where appropriate, the mosquito treatment program does include applying larvicides to stagnant or abandoned water sources. A larvicide program is generally the best and most economical strategy to prevent the emergence of adult mosquitoes. Oils and adulticide fogs are used in very controlled and limited applications. Our mosquito control personnel will visit your property if you fill out a citizen service request form at: http://www.mynevadacounty.com/myrequest/ or call 265-1500 and leave a voice mail message.
The types of mosquito control products we use are shown below with links to their Material Safety Data Sheets from the manufacturer:
