Show ( BOX Mosquito control a pesky challenge by J. Larry Nielsen Manager Box Elder County Mosquito & Fly Abatement District Mosquito control in Box Elder county is a difficult task even in a dry year. Several hundred thousand acres of swamps, marshes, sloughs, waterfowl management areas and irrigated pasture land all are potential mosquito breeding sources. Most all of these areas have to be checked weekly for mosquito breeding by district crews. Treatment is carried out only if necessary using very selective and U.S.D.A. registered insecticides. The districts operators are all licensed by the Department of Agriculture and receive many hours of instruction on proper control techniques. to be very successful until late July when some areas of the county were invaded by mosquitos. South and west Brigham City, Corinne, and parts of Tremonton were mostly affected by this movement of the salt marsh mosquito. This particular species is a strong flyer and can move, when conditions are right, four to ten miles a day into populated areas. All possible is being done by the district to combat these mosquitos, both by aircraft and ground equipment. Within a week to ten days conditions should improve in the nuisance areas unless excessive rains occur. THE BOX ELDER County district is participating in a encephalitis surveillance program along with all other districts in the state. This program consists of collecting live adult mosquitos and then sending them to the University of Utah for virus testing and detecting. If the virus is detected in any of the mosquito batches sent in, full scale contingency plans would be put into effect. However, none has been found and it is hoped that this trend will continue. The district has mosquito fish available Elder County district has the largest control area in the state of Utah and ranks 26th in the nation. With a district this size there are going to be periods of time when mosquitos become a nuisance in the populated areas of the county. The Box YEAR THE mosquito control program began in late March and proved THIS free of charge for planting in fish ponds, reservoirs, watering troughs or any areas of permanent stagnant water. The district is strongly emphasizing source reduction and water management in its program. Studies are being made continually in this area of control and several projects have already been completed. Cooperation and support from the public is essential if a mosquito control program is to be effective in any community. THE BOX ELDER County Mosquito and Fly Abatement district has received a great deal of support and will continue to serve the people of this county in every way possible, helping to make it a better place to live. A mosquito control program is a very important county service and a real asset to any community. The districts fly spray program is under way and has units working throughout the county. Due to the revaluation of the county, the district is lowering the mill levy from 2 to 1.50 mills to adjust for the increase in the evaluation.
