Our tire recycling event was so successful last year we are bringing it back- this time with more local organizations to help in the cause. Thursday June 22 from 8am-12pm help us reduce mosquito breeding habitats by recycling used, non-rimmed tires from your property. Check out the information below!
Today we held our annual one-hour prepackaged larvicide training for local townships and other special districts.
New this year, we were joined later by Environmental Health Specialists in the
Vector Surveillance and Control Program at IDPH for tick surveillance training.
It was a good day for learning about vectors and our role in helping to protect public health.

According to the Illinois EPA, Illinoians produce over 14 million used tires annually. Many of those are found illegally dumped along the road, fill with water and become mosquito habitats.
Per Illinois law, used tires can be disposed of at any tire resale location. Prices in the city of Decatur range from $4-7 per tire.

Articles & Updates
Educating the public about the life-cycle of mosquitoes and the role they play as potential vectors is a critical component of how we protect our residents. Often times, mosquito breeding sites are cryptic and difficult to spot, even by seasoned professionals. When equipped with the right information, residents become great assets in helping to manage mosquito populations within their own communities by eliminating breeding sites and educating their neighbors.

Homeowner Tips
Mosquito control can often be a community effort. Residents are encouraged to look after their own property and remove standing water, especially after a rain event. The best way to eliminate mosquitoes is to get rid of their breeding habitats.
