Mosquito-Borne Disease Program: Mosquito Surveillance – Traps and Dipping

From the beginning of May through October, Chester County Health Department (CCHD) will be deploying approximately 40 mosquito traps weekly. Surveillance activities are primarily determined based on population density and West NIle Virus (WNV) prevalence. Some traps will be deployed at “fixed” sites throughout the county, meaning that they are deployed at the same location every week for the entire season. Additional traps will be deployed at different locations each week. These will be either in response to mosquito-related complaints or to further investigate mosquito populations or WNV prevalence to determine risk. The data collected from these traps will be used to determine when and where larval and adult mosquito control may be necessary. Below, please find the images of the types of traps the CCHD uses to collect mosquitoes in all life stages.
