Mosquito Control Program Operations Checklist

This comprehensive mosquito control program operations checklist ensures regulatory compliance with EPA, CDC, State Health Department, AMCA, FIFRA. Seasonal mosquito control program inspection covering larval source reduction, larviciding, adulticiding, and public health coordination per EPA label requirements and CDC vector control guidelines. Mosquito-borne diseases (West Nile Virus, Dengue, Zika) make effective vector control a critical public health function. Complete all sections to maintai

Mosquito Surveillance and Monitoring

Verify surveillance program per AMCA best practices.

  • Is mosquito trap network deployed at representative sites with weekly collection during mosquito season?
  • Are captured mosquitoes identified to species to differentiate vector species from non-vector species?
  • Are mosquito pools tested for West Nile Virus and other arboviruses per public health requirements?
  • Are larval source surveys conducted to identify and map breeding habitats in service area?
  • Are adulticiding action thresholds defined based on surveillance data (e.g., trap counts, virus activity)?
  • Is surveillance data reported to state health department per arbovirus surveillance program requirements?

Larval Source Reduction

Verify source reduction activities per IPM principles.

  • Are standing water sources (catch basins, tires, containers) removed or treated to eliminate breeding sites?
  • Are drainage ditches maintained to prevent stagnation that supports larval development?
  • Is community education program active to reduce residential breeding sources?
  • Are source reduction activities documented with location, date, and action taken?

Larviciding Operations

Verify larviciding per EPA label and AMCA guidelines.

  • Are larvicide products selected appropriate for target habitat (Bti, Bacillus sphaericus, IGRs, oils)?
  • Is larvicide applied at label rate and method with proper calibration of equipment?
  • Are buffer zones maintained per label near drinking water sources, aquatic preserves, and sensitive habitats?
  • Are larvicide application records maintained including site, product, quantity, and applicator license?
  • Is larvicide resistance monitoring conducted to detect reduced efficacy?

Adulticiding Operations

Verify adulticiding per EPA label and AMCA operational guidelines.

  • Has action threshold been met before adulticiding is initiated?
  • Is ULV equipment calibrated per label to deliver correct droplet size (VMD) and application rate?
  • Are wind speed and direction within acceptable range (typically 3-10 mph) during applications?
  • Is public notification system active allowing residents to opt-out or be notified before treatments?
  • Has coordination occurred with local beekeepers to protect apiaries during adulticiding per pollinator protection plan?
  • Are adulticiding application records complete with route, start/end times, wind speed, and product used?
