The Lake County Vector Control District is a public health agency that protects Lake County residents and visitors from vectors and vector-borne diseases. The District is an independent special district that operates under the California Health and Safety Code §§ 2000-2093, and is governed by its own board of trustees.

We conduct ongoing surveillance of mosquitoes, ticks, biting black gnats, and other vectors in Lake County to determine the threat of disease transmission and to direct our control activities.

The District practices a program of integrated vector management (IVM), which includes:
• Surveillance for mosquitoes and other vectors
• Source reduction
• Biological control
• Larviciding and adulticiding, when indicated by surveillance
• Resistance monitoring
• Disease surveillance in vectors and reservoirs of disease
• Public education

SERVICES

Please call or visit our office to:
• Request for mosquito inspection or control: If you are being bitten by mosquitoes, please call and request service.

• Report an unmaintained pool or spa: A single unmaintained pool can produce thousands of Culex mosquitoes every day. Help to protect your family, friends, and neighbors by letting the District know if there is a pool or spa that may be producing mosquitoes in your community. You may remain anonymous. We have a variety of solutions to control mosquitoes in pools, spas, and ponds that will not damage them or adversely affect other animals that may use the water.

• Pick up mosquitofish: The District also provides mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) to Lake County residents at no charge.

• Have a tick or other vector identified: Place the tick or other vector in a sealed plastic bag or other secure container and bring it to our office in Lakeport for identification.

• Request a presentation: The District provides public education presentations about mosquitoes, ticks, and other local vectors. If you would like to schedule a presentation for your community, service group, club, school, or other association, please contact us.
