We conduct mosquito and tick surveillance, disease testing, mosquito control, and public education/outreach as part of an Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM) program to protect Jackson County residents from vector-borne diseases. We are governed by a Board of Trustees whose members are appointed by the Jackson County Board of Commissioners.
How Do I?
From submitting a mosquito service request to tick identification, we're here to assist residents of Jackson County.
