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.

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.
