Help your community control mosquitoes

You can do your part to help control the mosquito population by looking around your property for pools of standing water. Any that are too big to drain may be handled on your behalf by the RDOS Mosquito Control Crew.

The program, which has been in operation since 1974, tests standing water for the presence of mosquito larvae and, if detected, treats it with a natural bacteria larvicide.

Letters have already gone out to property owners where standing water has been detected, but if yours was missed, you can request assistance by calling Zoe Kirk at 250-490-4110 or emailing zkirk@rdos.bc.ca.
