About Us

The Indian River Mos­quito Con­trol Dis­trict was the first mos­quito abate­ment dis­trict cre­ated in the state of Florida, founded in 1925 by an act of the leg­is­la­ture.

Since that time, we have striven to de­velop the best in sci­en­tific mos­quito con­trol tech­niques while pro­tect­ing the en­vi­ron­ment and con­tain­ing costs to the tax­payers. We main­tain an active re­search program staffed by ex­pe­ri­enced en­to­mo­logists and en­vi­ron­mental spe­cial­ists, which is de­signed to de­velop the most ef­fect­ive pest and dis­ease re­duct­ion meth­od­ol­ogies while min­i­mizing en­vi­ron­mental im­pact.
