Pioneer Valley Mosquito Control District

We provide mosquito-borne disease surveillance in our member communities, including monitoring for West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Our program includes routine mosquito trapping and testing, targeted larval mitigation, and public education to help reduce the risk of virus transmission.
