What does Mosquito Abatement do in the winter?
The slower pace of the winter season allows us to catch up on the activities that we lack time for in the summer. These include: analyzing surveillance and control data, updating GIS maps, performing resistance testing, repairing and maintaining equipment, performing water management activities, preparing reports for cooperating agencies, applying for permits, pursuing continuing education, presenting at state, regional and national conferences, updating and delivering educational materials and programs, recruiting and hiring for the next season, pre-treating outlying sites. This is also the time of year when using vacation time is encouraged.
