West Baton Rouge Mosquito Control

West Baton Rouge Mosquito Control WBRP Mosquito Control is a department of the WBR Parish Council and is tasked with area-wide control operations in WBR Parish.

Please use the links below to access important information about our mosquito surveillance and control operations. West Baton Rouge Mosquito Control is a department of The West Baton Rouge Parish Council. The department was formed in 2002 in response to the introduction and rapid expansion of West Nile Virus in Louisiana. Our mission is to protect the citizens of West Baton Rouge Parish from the t

hreat of mosquito-borne disease and to combat nuisance mosquito problems to improve the quality of life for everyone in our community. To achieve our mission, we operate on an IPM (integrated pest management) basis, meaning that we employ multiple science-based principles to control mosquitoes. These principles include; mosquito surveillance, disease testing, larval mosquito control, adult mosquito control, source reduction, resistance testing, and public education. Our staff is committed to providing the citizens of our parish with the best measure of mosquito control and disease surveillance that we can.

Good Monday afternoon. Last week, we submitted 28 mosquito samples to the LSU Disease Diagnostic Lab for testing; none tested positive for disease.

Parish-wide spray truck operations were successfully completed last week. Monday morning's landing rate assessments indicated low mosquito counts at all locations except for two specific areas within zones C4 and C3. Those two areas (map link below) will be sprayed along with all parish parks, schools, and recreational areas this week. Mosquito population counts (and the need for further control efforts) will be reevaluated mid-week with gravid trap collections and landing rate assessments. Larvicide operations will be ongoing this week.

Good Monday morning, everyone. Last week, we submitted 25 mosquito samples to the LSU Disease Diagnostic Lab for testing; 1 sample tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV) in Zone S2. Per our standard procedure, enhanced control measures, including daytime larviciding and multiple nighttime spray-truck missions, will focus on the area with a positive sample this week.

Additionally, morning landing rates have indicated a rise in mosquito activity at several locations throughout WBR Parish. Consequently, we will also conduct a parish-wide spray this week, beginning tonight and rolling through Wednesday night (weather permitting). This will also include all parish parks, recreation facilities, and schools. Larviciding operations continue this week as well.

Environmental factors are optimal for possible WNV transmission to humans. July and August are typically peak months for WNV activity in Louisiana. We will be doing our part this week to mitigate the threat of mosquito-borne disease to our citizens. We urge you to do your part by eliminating mosquito breeding around your home and protecting yourself and your family from mosquito bites.
1. Empty all containers weekly.
2. Remove harborage and eliminate or treat all standing water on your property.
3. Remember to wear long clothes if possible.
4. Use a good mosquito repellent (DEET or Picaridin in a 15 to 20% solution).
5. Limit activity at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
6. Eliminate any entrances into your home, such as broken window/door screens and gaps around window AC units.

Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Last week, we submitted 25 mosquito samples to the LSU Disease Diagnostic Lab for testing; none tested positive for disease presence.

Although we have had no mosquito samples test positive for disease presence to date, current vector presence and environmental conditions are optimal for disease transmission to humans. We highly encourage all of our citizens to take appropriate precautions to protect themselves from being bitten by mosquitoes and from providing harborage for mosquitoes around their homes and property.

Monday morning's landing rate assessments indicated low mosquito counts at every location except for two specific areas inside of zones S4 and S2 (map link below). Those areas will be sprayed tonight. All parks and recreation areas will be sprayed on Thursday.

Mosquito population counts (and the need for further control efforts) will be reevaluated mid-week with gravid trap collections and landing rate assessments. Larvicide operations, mainly catch-basin larvicide inspections/treatments, will be a focus this week.

Good Tuesday afternoon. Last week, we submitted 21 mosquito samples to the LSU Disease Diagnostic Lab for testing; no samples tested positive for disease presence.

Parish-wide spray truck operations were successfully completed last week. Monday morning's landing rate assessments indicated low floodwater mosquito activity at sites around the parish. Mosquito population counts (and the need for further control efforts) will be reevaluated mid-week with gravid trap collections and landing rate assessments. Larvicide operations will be ongoing this week.

We are keeping a watchful eye on the approaching tropical system and are making preparations to respond with appropriate mosquito control measures if the need arises.

Good Tuesday morning. Last week, we submitted 25 mosquito samples to the LSU Disease Diagnostic Lab for testing; none tested positive for disease.

Recurring rain events and high temperatures continue to provide the perfect conditions for floodwater mosquito activity. Landing rates have indicated floodwater mosquito activity throughout WBR Parish. Consequently, we will conduct a parish-wide spray this week. Spraying will begin tonight and will continue through Thursday night (weather permitting).

All parish parks and recreation facilities will also be sprayed this week. Click on the map link for location details. Check back for updates, and remember to be a Skeeter Be**er!

Good Monday afternoon. Last week, we submitted 30 mosquito samples to the LSU Disease Diagnostic Lab for testing; no samples tested positive for disease presence.

The second round of parish-wide spray truck operations was successfully completed last week. This morning's landing rate assessments indicated low floodwater mosquito activity at sites around the parish. We anticipate this could change soon due to recent rainfall. Mosquito population counts (and the need for further control efforts) will be reevaluated mid-week with gravid trap collections and landing rate assessments. Larvicide operations will be ongoing this week.

🦟Mosquito control isn’t just a local issue; it’s a national one.

🦟As vector-borne disease continues to spread, the need for coordinated, well-resourced mosquito control has never been greater. Every conversation, every website click, every shared post, every neighbor who cleans out their gutters or empties their containers adds up to a healthier, mosquito-free future.

🦟Mosquito control starts at home—and it helps protect the people most vulnerable to mosquito-borne diseases.

🦟Certain groups are more susceptible to mosquito-borne illnesses, including children, pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. These individuals are often at greater risk of infection and may experience more severe symptoms.

🦟Click on the website link below to see how you can prevent mosquitoes around the home. Together, we can help protect our families, neighbors, and those most at risk.
