The District maintains two breeding ponds at our Mosquito Lane address to provide mosquito fish to any Jackson County resident that is in need of them.
The small fish swim in groups at the surface of the water in ponded areas and feed on mosquito larvae. They are also placed in water troughs, abandoned swimming pools, and ornamental ponds.
This biological method of mosquito control is an alternative to the use of pesticides in these areas and the District may give out from 5,000 to 6,000 fish each year.
