Santa Cruz County Mosquito and Vector Control operates with a strong commitment to transparency. As a public health agency, we prioritize open communication about our activities, findings, and plans regarding vector control.
The agency also offers extensive resources for public inquiry and participation, such as presence at local events, public meetings, and easily accessible reports. By actively engaging with the community and responding to public concerns, we ensure that residents are well-informed about how and why specific vector control measures are undertaken. Additionally, we are clear about the types of products and methods used for control efforts, prioritizing eco-friendly and scientifically-backed solutions that minimize mosquito populations through source reductions, improving water quality, and targeted pesticide applications when needed. Through these transparent practices, Santa Cruz County Mosquito and Vector Control fosters a cooperative relationship with the community, enhancing our efforts to protect public health effectively
