In 1915, the California Legislature adopted the "Mosquito Abatement Act" to help protect people from health risks associated with mosquitoes. This provided the basis for creating Mosquito Abatement Districts throughout the state. View our governing laws of the California Health and Safety Code. The driving force behind the formation of the District was the need to protect the public against diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and relief from serious pest nuisance.The District is governed by a Board of Trustees, each representing one of the incorporated cities or one of the counties within the District's boundaries.
It is our policy to comply with all applicable state and federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment based on race, age, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability or other protected classifications.

If you believe that you are having a problem with mosquitoes in your area, first ask yourself, "Am I being bitten?" There are many species of insects that are often mistaken for mosquitoes, but are in fact quite harmless. You know you have a real mosquito problem if you are being bitten. Once you have concluded that you have mosquitoes, we ask that you attempt to obtain a sample mosquito.
If you are requesting service for biting adult mosquitoes, please attempt to collect a sample of the mosquitoes in a plastic zipper bag to assist our technicians in identifying the species. You can leave the bag taped to your front door if not home. If you have any issues with the request form or would like to find out if we have already visited a potential mosquito breeding site, please call us at 1-800-429-1022 or email us here.

I used to have a koi pond when living in Elk Grove, and they were fantastic! My ex-husband (who passed recently), unfortunately, could not keep up with maintaining the pool. His overall health (brain cancer) deteriorated quickly.so I've been managing all of the upkeep of the inside and outside of the house. We received the pool inspection notice, a few weeks ago. Fortunately, I had a great pool service drain and clean the pool last week.
I love the correspondence where you can actually text and take a pic of the pool. The staff-Kevin is very efficient with replying back and updating our account. Don't hesitate to email or call them before the mosquito season starts! Thanks for providing great customer service!

Why 5 stars? I was very appreciative that Kevin arrived when he said he would, gave me the information I needed and promptly treated the mosquito issue. As I informed other neighbors to complete a service request, he also took care of their properties. I appreciate Kevin's professionalism as well and the County of Sacramento for providing this much needed service!

The field techs are great guys, if you are having mosquito problems or you have a wasps nest etc. they'll come right out and help. They can give you mosquito fish for a natural way to rid our neighborhoods of those damn little buggers! They show up when they say they will. It's funny, you drive by this place on Bond all your life, wondering why a mosquito control place would have ponds of standing water outside. Duh- they breed their own fish.

If you haven't called them yet, what are you waiting for? - It's free. When I noticed an increase in mosquitoes in my backyard, I suspected my neighbor's fish pond was the culprit. I reported him and the vector control people made a housecall a few days later. They kept my info anonymous and they asked my neighbor if they could do a yard inspection.
They found a nasty mosquito breeding pool and dropped some fish in it to eat the larvae. Then they told him that they would stick his house on their inspection route! Now every two weeks the vector people come by and leave fishies to eat the mosquito embryos and eggs.
