The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness uses a scientific approach to control mosquito populations in our area called Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM). Surveillance, source reduction, biological controls, larvaciding (eliminating mosquito larvae) and adulticiding (eliminating adult mosquitoes) are methods we use to reduce the mosquito population in Jefferson County.
We trap, sort, and speciate mosquitoes then we test them for diseases such as West Nile Virus. We believe that education is key. With your help, we can
to reduce our mosquito population and help protect our community from diseases.
Drain containers that hold water around your yard. By removing water, you
eliminate places where mosquitoes lay their eggs.
Wear long sleeves and pants and avoid wearing perfumes or after shave lotion
Wear EPA approved insect repellent that contains Deet,
Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, IR3535 or Picaridin. Always follow instructions on the label.
