Mosquito Control
 

ZMCHD conducts mosquito surveillance and control activities to reduce the incidence of mosquito related diseases such as Encephalitis, LaCross Encephalitis and West Nile virus.

What You Can Do

If you live in Muskingum County and would like to request spraying for your neighborhood, call 454-9741 extension 300 and report your name and address of the complaint. We do not have the staff to answer these calls personally; however, calls are retrieved daily to set larviciding and adulticiding schedules.

You can protect yourself and your family from West Nile virus. For information: Mosquito brochure

Contact
Email Matt Hemmer, RS or call 454-9741 extension 232.

Larvicides can be used to control mosquitoes in the aquatic stage before they become biting adults. This type of control using insecticides generally is the most effective at controlling mosquitoes and has the least effect on non-target species and the environment.

Adulticides can be used to kill adult mosquitoes that may be infected with West Nile Virus. Two truck-mounted Ultra Low Volume (ULV) foggers apply the adulticides used by the Health Department. These units are able to discharge a small amount of adulticide over a large area. The Health Department sprays during late evening and dark when adult mosquitoes are most active. Unfortunately, we cannot spray when it is raining.
