Services Offered

LARVICIDING

Larviciding is the treatment against the larval life stage of the mosquito in ditches, rivers, canals, swamps and other waterways.   Ascension Parish Mosquito Control performs daily operations of routine larviciding either manually, by truck, drone and/or in extreme circumstances plane.  

‍

ADULTICIDING

Adulticiding is the treatment against adult mosquitoes.  These mosquitoes become prominent during the dusk hours.  Monday – Friday, beginning at dusk, Ascension Parish Mosquito Control dispatches 11 trucks spraying areas throughout the Parish. Please note that due to liability issues. APMC drivers are onlv allowed to drive on Ascension Parish road and Subdivsions. We cannot drive down or spray private driveways at night, please submit a personal request for this. Also, it is impossible to drive down every single Parish road, therefore we use sophisticated methods to cover as much area as possible.

‍

DRONES

Our drones are used for mosquito management services in more compact or sensitive areas. These hard-to-reach spots can be inaccessible to teams in trucks or on foot, making mosquito control initiatives more tedious, dangerous, and costly. Our drones are capable of carrying and applying larvicides and/or adulticides to targeted areas. Drones are used to maintain all Public Parks, facilities, Lamar Dixon and waterways that are impossible to reach by vehicle.
