Surveillance and Quality Control

Surveillance and Quality Control is carried out by monitoring mosquito activity, mosquito populations, climate change, and virus activity by having mosquitoes tested for arboviruses. This information is utilized to guide all control efforts. The District’s Quality Control Program develops, evaluates, and encourages compliance with best management practices.
