What does the Board of Health do to protect the public from West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis ?
The Board of Health Office contracts with the Eastern Middlesex Mosquito Control Project for control services. These services include, but are not limited to, larvacide application in the city storm drains, trapping and examining mosquito populations in likely breeding areas within the city and trench maintenance. The Director of Public Health is currently serving on the Eastern Middlesex Mosquito Control Project’s Executive Board and will examine operations and budgets for the services to be provided in the upcoming mosquito control season.
