Mosquito abatement districts across Utah use Integrated Mosquito Management, or IMM. IMM uses a combination of methods to help reduce mosquitoes. Check out this page on the CDC website to learn more about it! www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/p...

Check out the items highlighted in yellow. Do you have any of these around your property? If so, you may want to check 'em out for standing water! Mosquito larvae require standing water in order to survive and grow.

Mosquitoes have four stages of their life cycle and the first three take place in the water. It's important to remember to check your property for standing or stagnant water at least once a week to reduce mosquitoes!

Many of the Utah districts attended the West Central MVCA joint meeting with the Wyoming Mosquito & Vector Control Association last week!

Participating in these meetings are valuable and allow different regions to come together to continue improving vector programs and protect public health.🦟

It's nearly the winter solstice and it's a bit chilly around here. To bring us back to some warmer thoughts, let's look at Sabethes chloropterus, a mosquito found in humid forests across Central and Latin America.

If you're traveling abroad to escape the colder weather, be sure to plan ahead and take steps to prevent bug bites. You can check your destination on the CDC website, wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/desti..., and find out what diseases or health risks are a concern and what you can do for prevention.

Utah has mosquitoes. It may not seem like it now because, well, it's winter! However, once snow melts and spring time temps come around Utah sees a variety of mosquitoes throughout the summer.
