Cache Mosquito Abatement District (CMAD)
In our district, the Culex pipiens mosquito likes man-made water pools and carries West Nile virus.
New Manager Hired
Richard Rigby was hired February 29 as the Field Operations Manager. He will supervise the field workers, set treatment routes, and oversee mosquito abatement and surveillance operations. His phone number is (435) 890-9545.
Mosquito Season
The mosquito season is approaching. Plans are for our field workers to visit the "hotspots" in late April to check for mosquito larvae. Larvacide is our primary focus for controlling mosquitoes. The main chemicals we use target only mosquito larvae and pupae. About 80% of the field hours are spent in this activity. Only later in the season when adult mosquito numbers rise do we start fogging.
If you are an organic farmer, a beekeeper, or have a medical condition affected by pesticides, please read our fogging policy. For more information please visit our Mosquito Control and Education pages.
If you live in Logan or College-Young Ward, please contact your local abatement personnel, NOT Cache Mosquito Abatement District, for fogging schedules, no spray requests, etc. In Logan, please contact Joe Archer at 716-9749. For the College-Young Ward area, please contact Brad Tolman at 755-5733.
CMAD
The Cache Mosquito Abatement District (CMAD) was approved by voters in 12 communities and the county unincorporated area on the November 2004 ballot. Since then, four more communities have requested (and been granted) annexation into the District. The College-Young Ward area and Logan City maintain their own mosquito abatement programs.
