Are you prepared for things that may bite on #Halloween night?
If #mosquitoes are active in your neighborhood, remember to dress (long sleeves/pants) and defend (EPA-registered repellent) against bites.

@TargetSpecProd A4 WHO, in addition to EPA and CDC, has also urged folks not to take resources away from vector control. We cannot let one public health crisis fuel another. https://t.co/sKZKOuaQR7 #VectorControlChat

@SGVMosquito@nehaorg Many jurisdictions in the United States do not have full IPM programs or the capacity for tackling mosquito populations after flooding. Contractors such as VDCI, the AirForce and Dynamic Aviation often step in to help. #vectorcontrolchat https://t.co/M240WmbG0p
@nehaorg Mosquitoes are inevitable after the flooding associated with hurricanes. Having surveillance data and a plan in place is essential. https://t.co/HU1zEpPvqp
@TargetSpecProd This is such a shame. Part of the reason CDC and EPA had to post this article. WHO is saying they're expecting to see double the malaria cases this year.

@nehaorg A3 We purchased several drones which are great for treating areas too big for a backpack and too small for full-size aircraft. Mostly used for larvicide applications right now. #VectorControlChat#VDCI
@nehaorg A2: A couple weeks ago the CDC and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) put out a recommendation to continue mosquito control surveillance, and control, during non-mosquito-related public health. #vectorcontrolchat

@nehaorg A2 Surveillance is the foundation of any mosquito control program. While many groups are limited in budget and cannot provide a full integrated mosquito program surveillance allows them to know what the problems in their area are and respond accordingly. #vectorcontrolchat
