Mosquito Control

Preventive and Immunologic Intervention

Mosquito control is the management of mosquito populations to reduce their damage to human health, economies and enjoyment. Control strategies range from habitat modification and chemical insecticides to biological agents and mechanical traps. Rising global temperatures have expanded mosquito habitats and disease risks, prompting a greater focus on community-led education programs to play key roles in reducing breeding grounds and tracking mosquito populations.
