Integrated Mosquito Control

An integrated mosquito management approach is used by The City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board (NOMTCB).  This involves vector population surveillance, public education, larval mosquito habitat reduction, and chemical control of larval and adult mosquitoes. Larval source reduction (i.e. the physical elimination of larval breeding sites) involves the inspection and removal of man-made containers (including tires), clutter and trash around residences. For sites that cannot be removed or drained, biorational larvicides are used to target developmental stages. Adult mosquitoes can be treated on a yard, block or residential level using a variety of equipment; backpack or hand-held sprayers, trucks and airplanes.

THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS MOSQUITO, TERMITE AND RODENT CONTROL BOARD TO CONDUCT AREA-WIDE LARVAL MOSQUITO ABATEMENT

The City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board (NOMTRCB) will conduct area-wide spray missions tomorrow morning, Friday, July 11, 2025, targeting larval populations of mosquitoes. Treatments will be conducted by helicopter between the hours of 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. weather permitting. The purpose of these treatments is to target standing water where mosquitoes lay their eggs and kill their larvae before they become adults. The chemical that is being used is bacterial-derived larvicide that is naturally occurring in soil. This treatment produces crystalline proteins that are toxic to the aquatic stages of mosquitos and other flies when it is ingested. These treatments are highly specific to mosquitoes and other flies, and are non-toxic for other non-target organisms including humans, dogs, bees, etc. Treatments will be conducted in the following areas:
