TextDisease Carrying Insects Program
FIGHT THE BITE!
The bite of an infected mosquito, tick or other disease carrying
insect may result in a life changing illness, such as West Nile virus
or Lyme disease. The Disease
Carrying Insect Program (DCIP), established in 2003, works to
minimize the threat of insect-borne diseases through active
surveillance, vector management, and community education activities to
help protect county residents. Mission Statement.
- How To?
- Surveillance
- Resources
- Mosquitoes
- Ticks
Please note: We are a public health agency and
do not spray to control nuisance mosquitoes. Only under exceptional
circumstances will the Health Department spray insecticides in county
property to control adult mosquitoes, and in these rare cases, the spray
will target only those mosquitoes which transmit disease to humans. The
county does not spray on private property.
