Mosquito Control

Mosquito Control activities, on a city-wide basis, seek to control insects in both immature larval and adult stages.

Residents are Asked to Assist in This Control By:

  • Properly disposing of potential water holding containers such as old tires, cans and bottles.
  • Not allowing boat covers, swimming pool covers, or toys such as wagons to accumulate water.
  • Changing out water at least once a week in bird baths, ornamental pools, flower pots and children's wading pools

BTi dunks are effective mosquito control, but must be used according to label directions. BTi dunks are to be used on your property, in containers and other areas as listed on the label. Dunks can treat approx 100 square feet of water, and should be broken apart and smaller pieces used in containers less than 100 square feet (see label for directions).  In order to get the BTi Dunks you must be a resident in the WVMVCD service area and you must complete a release form and submit it with your request to the WVMVCD.  These release forms and more information can be found on the WVMVCD website .

Citrus Pest & Disease Prevention Program

California Department of Food & Agriculture (CDFA)

Information on Citrus Disease - "Huanglongbing" (HLB) (pronounced Wong-Long-Bing) is a devastating plant disease threatening citrus trees in Southern California, including the San Bernardino area where citrus trees are found in abundance on small farms and at homes.

Huanglongbing (HLB)

  • Kills citrus trees
  • No cure
  • NOT harmful to humans or animals
  • Has a latency period of 2 - 5 years
  • If you think that your tree may be infected with HLB, you may simply call 800-491-1899. In response, a representative of the CDFA will return your call and ask a few questions to determine if your tree should be tested.
  • If the CDFA believes that the tree may be infected, they will send out an inspector to take a sample from the tree for laboratory testing to see if it tests positive for the disease.
  • If your tree is found to be infected with Huanglongbing (HLB), the CDFA will remove the tree at no cost.
