| Ute Indian Tribe Mosquito Abatement Management Policy: Mosquitoes are a serious threat to human health and comfort ranging from the transmission of arboviruses, like West Nile Virus to the vexatious biting of flood water mosquitoes. The successful management of this group of insect vectors and pests significantlyincreases access to the outdoors and quality of life. The Ute Indian Tribe Mosquito Abatement Department wishes to establish a broad outline of the principles of Integrated Management of mosquitoes that can be adapted to local needs and conditions. Ideally, mosquito management should be based on the bestavailable and scientifically supported methods of surveillance and integration of larval and adult controlmethods. In addition, two key components of any mosquito abatement program should be the appropriate training of control personnel and a strong commitment to educating the public about vector-borne diseases, abatement actions, and the best methods for personal protection and homeowner source reduction. |
