Invite us to public fairs and events!

We want to teach your community about mosquitoes and other vectors (pests that can make you sick)! We attend many types of events including:

• Community and public events
• Science and health fairs
• School fairs
• Library storytime

To invite Vector Control to your next event, please contact us at Fightthebite@sdcounty.ca.gov.

Presentations

We offer free talks to community organizations, HOAs, gardening clubs, and any group with an interest in mosquitoes or other vectors. Our talks are flexible in length and we can join in person or virtually. Just let us know what you want to talk about, whether it’s mosquitoes, rats, or general program info. Contact us to schedule your presentations!

School program

The Let's Learn About Mosquitoes! school program is a fun and interactive program for 4th/5th grade classes. It teaches students about:

the mosquito lifecycle
how mosquitoes can make us sick
how to prevent mosquitoes

Our program follows Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and gives students a hands-on way to learn all about mosquitoes. We can also adjust the program to other grade levels. Fill out the inquiry form or email fightthebite@sdcounty.ca.gov to start scheduling!
