Public Health Mosquito Control

Formed in 1919, the Shasta Mosquito and Vector Control District is a special district charged with the mission “To protect the public’s health from vector-borne disease and nuisance, through a comprehensive mosquito and vector control program focused on innovation, experience and efficiency.” We serve 1,110 square miles of Shasta County including; Cottonwood, Anderson, Redding, Shasta Lake City, Palo Cedro, French Gulch, Igo, Ono, Shingletown, Castella, Millville, Viola and Bella Vista.

The Shasta Mosquito and Vector Control District (SMVCD) is a public health agency. By utilizing the most efficient, reliable and scientifically sound mosquito and vector control techniques, SMVCD is able to reduce current mosquito and vector-borne disease issues while maintaining surveillance for future emerging diseases.
