Surveillance is a very important part of a complete mosquito control program.

To the left is a picture of the backyard of an unoccupied residence in Jamestown. The former occupants had done some landscaping and had left an unfinished pond. The pond had collected rain water and dew and was full of mosquito larva. Vector Control had some help finding this breeding site.
Get rid of any standing water in your yard !!

The picture to the left is the field crew on the James River looking for backwaters holding larva. We at the Jamestown Vector Control office are out looking for mosquito larva and possible breeding sites when we are not larviciding known sites or out with the sprayers adulticiding.

To the right are Mosquito larva swimming in water dipped out of a ditch along Interstate, near Exit 256.
Some are hanging from the surface and others are wiggling, the ones that look like little letter 'o's.
That is where the name wigglers comes from.
