Mosquito Control

Given climate change and expanding wetlands along the Fraser River, mosquito populations rise sharply in Coquitlam each summer. Integrated pest management strategies combining larvicide treatments, biological controls like Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, and community engagement offer effective, environmentally friendly mosquito control solutions. Proper yard maintenance, habitat reduction in rain barrels and ponds at Town Centre Park, and discrete use of insect repellent and screens can reduce aedes and culex breeding. This guide helps Coquitlam residents protect recreation spaces, health, and wildlife from mosquito-borne pathogens.
