SERVICE ALERT
Our Spring Aerial larvicide application will take place on April 23 and April 24, 2025. We will be starting in the western part of the District and will move to the east. Please see click here to see a map of the targeted wetlands. This is NOT a spray. It is a granular product called Bti that is only applied directly to the wetlands. Click here to find out more information.
We are now accepting requests to check/treat any wetlands near your home for mosquito larvae. Please note we will begin servicing these requests in early April.
Please note, we are NOT accepting requests for adult mosquito spraying at this time. We will begin taking those requests in mid-May.
We have resumed our tire-pick up program. If you have off-rim tires on your property that are holding water, we will pick them up (maximum 10) to prevent mosquito breeding. Click here for more information.

- The Tick App. The Tick App team at Columbia University is seeking partnership with Health Departments in the Northeast region. The app is available for free at the app store or google play, and could be used as a passive surveillance tool for tick exposure. As of May 2020, we have more than 3000 downloads. As more people participate in the app we can better understand tick exposure patterns over time in specific locations. This year we are aiming to partner with Health Departments and Vector control units across the Northeast region to promote The Tick App and, in turn, receive tick encounter data aggregated at a zip code level. This data would help the recipient Health Department identify tick risk in their area of influence. If you are interested and would like to partner with us, please contact Maria Diuk-Wasser at [email protected]
