Mosquito Mitigation
The Town of Erie contracts with Vector Disease Control International (VDCI) to provide the Town with mosquito management: larval (water treatments), Adult mosquito surveillance and trapping, and fogging.
Mitigation efforts (spraying) have concluded for the 2022 season. However, residents should continue to protect themselves against mosquito bites when outside by following the 4 D's of mosquito mitigation.
