MOSQUITO CONTROL

​​

Upcoming Fogging Areas:

​

 

The Natrona County Weed and Pest Control District board has declared the mosquito a pest of local concern.  The division’s function is to identify mosquito breeding habitats and implement various control methods. 

 

These methods range from source reduction to the utilization of both biological and chemical control measures.    The division is dedicated to working with the public and assisting them with issues related to mosquito control.   

​

Mosquito Fogging activities begin each year around mid-June. 

 

Fogging operations are based on weather and mosquito survey trapping.

No Spray Request Form 2026

APPLICANTS MUST BE THE LANDOWNER OR AUTHORIZED AGENT

The Natrona County Mosquito Control District (NCMC) has the authority and responsibility to perform a variety of mosquito abatement activities geared towards the reduction of disease carrying insects that affect people, wildlife, and livestock/pets. Because insects do not respect boundaries, it is of utmost importance to control them on both public and private lands in Natrona County. (These efforts are funded through property taxes of Natrona County Residents and Grants that we can attain for public health.)

​

 NCMC performs ground fogging in the evenings starting at sunset and fogging no later than 1:00 am when the mosquitoes are most active and bees and other pollinating insects are not present.

​

Our goal is to reduce the need for ground fogging throughout the county by using our mosquito larvicide program to control and eliminate mosquitoes in their aquatic habitat before they become a public health threat or nuisance. This involves site reduction, polluted waterway cleanup, and the use of larvicides.  

These products used to take care of mosquitoes in larvae stage are excellent. We use a combination of Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies israelensis (B.T.I) and Methoprene, products depending on water type, location, and mosquito species.

​

Being placed on the no spray list should be carefully considered – especially; due to mosquito transmitted diseases that are on the move globally, including throughout the U.S.A.  such as West Nile Virus, Saint Louis Encephalitis Virus, Zika Virus, Chikungunya, Malaria…. etc. (Visit- www.cdc.gov/westnile). NCMC sets approximately 17 traps from May to October throughout the county. Culex mosquitoes are tested in house and/or sent to the public health laboratory in Cheyenne for West Nile Virus. Results for these pools are recorded on the Wyoming Health Department page (badskeeter.org). For information on where they are found email ncwpoffice@gmail.com or Call NCWP.  In 2025, 37 out of 241 mosquito pools tested positive for WNV in Natrona County.

 

If request for no spray, please provide a reason and how you will do your part as a landowner to help control mosquitoes on your property. This could include source reduction, purchasing larvicide/pesticide from Natrona

County Weed and Pest with a cost share, keeping yard clear of debris, cleaning gutter systems, mowing, treating retention ponds, etc… Please follow link to form or print and return pdf via email, mail, or in person.

​

Homeowners can take the following steps to prevent mosquito breeding on their own property:
 

1:  Destroy or dispose of tin cans, old tires, buckets, unused plastic swimming pools or other containers that collect and hold water. Do not allow water to accumulate in the saucers of flowerpots, cemetery urns or in pet dishes for more than 2 days.

​

2:  Clean debris from rain gutters and remove any standing water or around structures or on flat roofs. Check around faucets and air conditioner units and repair leaks or eliminate puddles that remain for several days.

 

3:  Change the water in birdbaths and wading pools at least once a week. 

 

4:  Fill or drain puddles, ditches and swampy areas and either remove, drain or fill tree holes and stumps with mortar.

 

5: Eliminate seepage from cisterns, cesspools and septic tanks.

 

6: Eliminate standing water around animal watering troughs. Flush livestock troughs twice a week. 

 

7:  Check for trapped water in plastic or canvas tarps used to cover boats, pools, etc.

 

8.  Irrigate lawns and gardens carefully to prevent water from standing for several days.   â€‹â€‹
