Mosquito Management
Mosquito management involves strategies to control mosquito populations and reduce their impact on public health. This includes eliminating standing water where mosquitoes breed, using insect repellents, and installing screens on windows and doors. Community efforts often focus on educating residents about prevention methods.
Additionally, mosquito management may involve the use of biological control agents, such as fish that eat mosquito larvae, or the application of insecticides in targeted areas. Public health organizations monitor mosquito populations to track diseases like West Nile virus and Zika virus, ensuring timely responses to outbreaks.
