Public Education
A central pillar to an integrated pest management approach is education. Often, public health initiatives are dependent on individuals doing their part. Our goal is to educate residents on ways they can reduce mosquitoes in their own back yard. If you have a group or agency that would like more information, we would enjoy speaking with you and can tailor a presentation suited for your needs. To schedule an education outreach program please contact our Director.
