CCMAD and Covid-19

Canyon County Mosquito Abatement District, as an essential service, is still serving the community by doing pre-treatments, larval inspections and responding to mosquito control service requests. The health and safety of the citizens we serve and of our employees is paramount during the COVID-19 pandemic. To protect everyone, we have implemented the following measures to promote social distancing and to adhere to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations and Idaho’s Gov. Brad Little’s Stay Home -Stay Healthy proclamation:

Increased cleaning of surfaces at the shop

Increased cleaning of trucks and equipment

Vehicles assigned to individual employees

Reusing existing personal protective equipment to preserve available supply

Staying home when sick.

To protect everyone and adhere to social distancing guidelines, our office will be closed to the public unless an appointment is made in advance. We also ask that you please stay at least 6 feet away from Mosquito Control employees that are working in the field. Thank you.

If you are experiencing a mosquito problem, please submit a service request online at canyoncountymosquito.com or call our office at 208-461-8633 press number 1 for reception.

Can mosquitoes transmit the coronavirus?

The CDC reports that:

Not all types of viruses can be spread by mosquitoes and ticks.

At this time, we have no data to suggest that COVID-19 or other similar coronaviruses (e.g. SARS, MERS) are spread by mosquitoes or ticks.
