Surveillance

During the mosquito-breeding season, surveillance programs are necessary so that control activities can be concentrated in those areas with the most serious problems. Several surveillance techniques are used:

• BG Sentinel Traps
• CDC Traps
• Gravid Traps
• Larval Dipping Surveys
• Light Traps
• Sentinel Flocks (chickens)

Citizen Participation

Since the emergence of Aedes albopictus, a container breeding mosquito that is often found near homes, citizen participation (service requests) has been a very important and reliable tool in surveillance techniques.
