Mosquito Control

On-site assessment, monitoring and remediation: District staff maintains a survey of mosquito breeding sites in Clackamas County. This survey is updated regularly and each location is mapped and recorded. Each location is checked regularly and treated as necessary during the breeding season. Staff records the location of all known problem swimming pools in Clackamas County. A significant portion of the County mosquito problems originate from backyard pools.

Alternative to pesticide, biological control is an important part of our mosquito control program. Staff grows and distributes Gambusia affinis, a minnow that feeds on mosquito larvae, to any citizen of the county. Use of such fish reduces the amount of pesticide required to control mosquitoes.
