Welcome to the official website of the City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite & Rodent Control Board. Our primary mission is to administer and evaluate mosquito control activities and monitor the populations of disease and virus transmitting mosquitoes and consult with appropriate authorities.  Part of this mission is to decrease the incidences of disease transmission, economic loss and medical emergencies caused by pests (i.e. mosquitoes, rodents, termites) by managing pest populations through a series of integrated approaches including surveillance, source reduction, biological control, sanitation, community education and adult/larval abatement operations.

This website is designed to offer information to the public on pest identification, biology and management as well as steps you can take to help reduce mosquito, rodent, termite and other pest populations in and around your home or business.
