If you are experiencing excessive levels of mosquitoes, MMCD may be able to help. Civic groups, city officials and individual property owners can call MMCD at (651) 645-9149, or email the District. An inspector may take mosquito population samples to determine if mosquito levels are high enough to warrant treatment. If the decision is made to treat for adult mosquitoes, MMCD will use either permethrin - applied during the day by backpack to the edge of wooded areas as a barrier treatment; or resmethrin - a quick acting cold fog applied when mosquitoes are most active, around dusk or dawn by truck. When applied correctly, these products pose no measurable risk to human health or the environment. MMCD applicators are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.
