Mosquito Abatement Fresno Westside, 2555 N St, Firebaugh, CA 93622, US

The Merced County Mosquito Abatement District is a publicly funded special district dedicated to improving the quality of life for the local community by implementing best management practices for mosquito control and disease prevention. With a mission to protect public health since 1946, the district aims to provide areawide mosquito control, prevent mosquito-borne diseases, and reduce economic loss and discomfort caused by pestiferous mosquitoes. Through their public relations program, the district not only focuses on mosquito control services but also emphasizes education and direct interaction with the public to raise awareness about mosquito-borne diseases. They actively address the threat of invasive species like Aedes aegypti, which are aggressive day biters found in urban areas and lay eggs in small sources of water. Additionally, the district plays a crucial role in combating the spread of West Nile virus, a mosquito-borne disease that first appeared in California in 2003 and has since spread to all 58 counties.Generated from the website
