What do mosquito control people do in the winter?
In winter, mosquito control employees inspect & clean ditches that may otherwise promote mosquito development, maintain & calibrate equipment, analyze the previous season’s data, and prepare plans for upcoming seasons. Many of the pesticide training workshops and other state and federal mandated personnel training sessions are conducted during the winter months. All required operational permits and protocols are reviewed with appropriate local/state/federal agencies and updated as necessary. The Project spends a great deal of time ‘off season’ fine tuning procedures and strategies employed during the season. Annual attendance of professional regional and national mosquito control association conferences are critical as part of this overall review.
