Mosquito Control

The Conservancy recognized that the traditional spraying of toxic pesticides was an ineffective mosquito control method as well as a threat to human health and our waters.

Working in partnership with the Suffolk County Vector Control, the Conservancy instituted a model program in New York State which hires licensed applicators of non-toxic larvicides to be applied throughout the summer in places where there are potential mosquito breeding areas, e.g. swamps, bird baths, children’s pails, or pot holes.

To report a mosquito breeding ground, contact Mosquito Control, at 788-7130 (in season).
