Mosquitoes Bugging You?

LOCAL GOVERNMENT, SHASTA COUNTY
May 20th, 2010

The wave of foreclosures in Shasta County has had a stinging side effect-abandoned pools and ponds have become mosquito breeding havens! If you know of a neglected water feature in your neighborhood, the Shasta Mosquito and Vector Control District would like to hear from you.

Every property owner in Shasta County pays for mosquito control through an assessment on their property tax bill. The district needs your help identifying problem pools and ponds that become production grounds this time of year for mosquitoes. These insects can potentially spread viruses including West Nile Virus.

Contact the district at 530-365-3768 and provide them the address of a property you are aware of which has an abandoned pool or water feature. They will investigate and attempt to contact the owner or bank to gain permission to evaluate the situation. If necessary, the district will treat the problem using guppy-like fish that eat mosquitoes or possibly a chemical larvicide will be applied. There is no charge for the service.

Besides inspecting and treating pools, the district also surveils disease by taking blood samples from chickens and sick or dead crows, magpies and jays which are first indicators that West Nile Virus is in the area. Other targets include ticks which can spread Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Lyme Disease.

The district needs your help because warmer weather perfect for breeding millions of mosquitoes is just around the corner. You can help make your outdoor leisure activities safer and more enjoyable by reporting neglected or abandoned pools where you live.
