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.

Peak season for West Nile Virus (WNV) activity is approaching. Although we have had no mosquito samples test positive to date, it is important to note that current mosquito vector collections and environmental conditions are optimal for WNV transmission to humans. We typically begin to see WNV-positive mosquito samples in mid to late June.

Here at WBR Mosquito Control, we are committed to keeping you informed on local WNV activity as much as possible so that you can take proper precautions. July and August are typically peak months for WNV activity. As such, we urge our citizens to take all precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. Listed below are explanations of web links located in the intro portion of our page and on our website's home page that are designed to keep you informed.

VectorSurv is a database that houses mosquito surveillance and disease testing data from states nationwide. Together with other districts around the state, our weekly surveillance data is entered and archived in this system. Click on the link to see local, state, and national results on a visual map.

Good Monday afternoon, everyone. Last week, we submitted 38 mosquito samples to the LSU Disease Diagnostic Lab for testing; no samples tested positive for disease presence.

This morning's landing rate assessments indicated low mosquito counts at every location except for two specific areas. Those areas, along with parks and recreation areas, will be sprayed 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, mainly catch-basin larvicide inspections/treatments, will be a focus this week.

Good Monday afternoon, everyone. Last week, we submitted 32 mosquito samples to the LSU Disease Diagnostic Lab for testing; no samples tested positive for disease presence.

A second round of parish-wide spray truck operations was successfully completed Thursday night of last week. This morning's landing rate assessments indicated low mosquito counts at every location except for one. That location, along with parks and recreation areas, will be sprayed 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.

Good Monday morning. Last week, we submitted 34 mosquito samples to the LSU Disease Diagnostic Lab for testing; none tested positive for disease.

As confirmed by this morning's landing counts, multiple rain events over the Memorial Day weekend have provided the right conditions for continued above-average floodwater mosquito activity throughout WBR Parish. Consequently, parish-wide spray truck operations begin again tonight and will continue through Thursday night (weather permitting).

All parish parks, recreation facilities, and schools 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 morning. Last week, we submitted 31 mosquito samples to the LSU Disease Diagnostic Lab for testing; none tested positive for disease.

As mentioned last week, we have been anticipating an increase in floodwater mosquito activity from recent heavy rains. This morning's landing counts have confirmed this throughout WBR Parish. Consequently, parish-wide spray truck operations begin tonight and will continue through Wednesday night (weather permitting). Larvicide operations also continue this week.

All parish parks, recreation facilities, and schools 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, everyone. Last week, we submitted 30 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. With the large amount of rainfall over the weekend, we fully anticipate the possibility of a sizable floodwater mosquito hatch soon. This morning's landing rate assessments confirmed that it has not happened yet, as numbers were low across the board. The need for control measures will be further evaluated with mid-week gravid trap collections and landing rate assessments. Larvicide operations, mainly catch-basin larvicide inspections/treatments, continue to be a focus this week.

All parish parks, recreation facilities, and schools will be treated via spray truck this week. Check back for updates, and remember to be a Skeeter be**er!
