TAHOE DIVISION
Vector Control
El Dorado County's Vector Control
District was formed in 1963 in response to citizen complaints regarding
an abundance of pest mosquitoes. The opportunity to establish a
mosquito abatement district was passed over in favor of a county
service area which would be governed by the County Board of Supervisors.
In 1980 the District was upgraded to a Vector Control District.
The District belongs to the
Mosquito and Vector Control Association of California (MVCAC),
and the American
Mosquito Control Association (AMCA), and interacts regionally
and nationally with other public agencies.
The District's service area encompasses 195 square
miles from the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range near Echo
Summit to the shore of Lake Tahoe in both the City of South Lake
Tahoe and the unincorporated area of El Dorado County. Our
mission is to provide quality Vector Control services and protect
the public health and safety with minimal impact to the environment.
Certified Vector Control Technicians
- Each employee must complete a minimum of
40 hours of continuing education every two years in order
to maintain their certification.
