Placer Mosquito & Vector Control District

Mosquitoes drink blood for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Don't be their main course! Use an EPA-registered repellent and say goodbye to mosquito bites. Beware of the bite this spooky season.

That's a lot of blood. Beware of the bite!

Ghostbuster ... I mean ... mythbuster! Can bats help control mosquitoes? The answer is not really. Bats eat mosquitoes but they also eat all sorts of other things. What can you do? Remove standing water and wear an EPA-registered repellent. #BewareoftheBite this Halloween.

Vampires and mosquitoes and ticks, oh my! #BewareoftheBite this Halloween. Keep mosquitoes, ticks and vampires far, far away. Use garlic to keep vampires away and use an EPA-registered repellent for mosquitoes and ticks. Call us if your mosquito problems start to get spooky.

They're creepy and they're kooky. Mysterious and spooky. They're altogether ooky. They're mosquitoes! The deadliest animal is the world. BEWARE of the BITE this HALLOWEEN. Use an EPA-registered repellent.
