Mosquito Control Public Health and Safety
In addition to minimizing the presence of unwanted pests, Mosquito Control plays a key role in helping to
ensure public and community safety. Orange County Mosquito Control has a working laboratory where
researchers examine mosquitoes and larva found within the community. This information helps Orange County
identify target areas for treatment and migration trends. Their efforts range from removing standing water,
which serves as a breeding area, to providing research and information to partner agencies, along with
spraying communities to rid them of mosquitoes. Mosquito Control works in partnership with the
Florida Department of Health (DOH), which is
the lead agency monitoring for the presence of infectious disease in Florida. DOH provides critical
information to key partners throughout the state regarding the status or spread of infectious disease.
