Learn how the District uses cutting edge techniques to monitor our area
“We currently have 23 mosquito species in our two counties, and their life cycles have different attributes and seasonality. Conducting surveillance and understanding what stage of the life cycle they are in is key for our planning and control efforts.” —Erik Hawk, Assistant Manager, Marin/Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District

“Rodents can spread diseases through their droppings and urine. That is why once you have excluded them from your home, it is very important to thoroughly clean while taking appropriate precautions.” —Tony Russo, Rodent Control Specialist, Marin/Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District
