Mosquito control treatment

Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District conducts ground-based larvicide and adulticide treatment applications to manage mosquito populations and protect public health in Alameda County. These treatments are an important part of our comprehensive integrated vector management program.  Scheduled treatments may be canceled due to unstable weather conditions or other unforeseen reasons.

 Ground WALS Treatment Schedule

WALS stands for Wide Area Larvicide Spray. WALS is an approach to larval control that uses a form of larvicide, which targets immature mosquitoes in the water using a naturally occurring bacterium to kill mosquito larvae before they emerge into biting adults. Control of mosquitoes while in the larval stage is the backbone of most mosquito control programs in California.
