Storm 2006 Vector Control/Facilities Vector control has five environmental health inspectors who conduct inspections, treat water, and monitor mosquito breeding during the day. The environmental health inspectors also fog at night and set up light traps to collect adult mosquitoes. The mosquitoes are sent to the Texas Department of State Health Services for analysis of potential diseases carried by mosquitoes, which can be transmitted to humans. The map requested identifies area’s covered by the environmental health inspector by zip code. Currently the work schedule is Monday through Saturday. The environmental health inspectors evaluate standing water and decide what control measure to utilize. The control measure can be to use gambusia fish or to use larvacide, which will assist in the reduction of mosquito larva.

The Texas Department of State Health Services oversees the vector control program by conducting yearly audit of the program. The vector control program has never failed a state audit. All chemicals used are all Environmental Protection Agency approved and the Texas Department of State Health Services closely monitors our use of these chemicals. Currently due to the heavy rain and flooding, the vector control program is concentrating mosquito control activites in areas with high levels of ponding, which we consider high risk, such as the upper valley and lower valley.

Maps of complaints and light traps will be submitted including a chart with more specific information. The manner in which data is colleted and analyzed is different than what was requested. We are submitting most of the data requested but will need additional time to compose the remaining data on vector control activities to fully satisfy the request.
