In addition to spraying, the county has an aggressive larviciding program that includes more than 1,500 sites treated and monitored on a regular basis. Additionally, more than 750 ponds and areas with standing water are treated with gambusia fish which eat mosquito larva and are able to reproduce at a high rate.
