The Metropolitan Mosquito Control District concentrates on killing the mosquito in the <br />larval stage, which is the most e~xvironmentally safe and longest lasting method. <br />However, supplemental spraying for adult mosquitoes beyond what the District does may <br />still be desirable. <br /> <br />Staff cautions the Council that the prices for mosquito control listed in this memo were <br />meant only to give rough estimates of the dollars involved for this service. The methods <br />used to figure these prices were mixed (acres, population and miles of road). <br /> <br /> RECCOMENDATIONS <br />Staff recommends that the City Council encourage the Sherburne County Board to <br />explore the possibility of joining the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District for <br />next year and get a firm idea of the cost involved. <br /> <br />Staff recommends the city get apples to apples quotes from at least Moore's Ag. <br />Center and Dana Dunklau of Clark Mosquito Control for spraying the city for <br />adult mosquitoes. <br /> <br />Staff recommends the city look into the cost of doing its ovm mosquito control <br />with its own equipment (including employee time). <br /> <br />Staff strongly recommends that, if the city chooses to do its own mosquito <br />control, a firm policy is developed regarding how often and where we spray. <br /> <br />Hopefully staff will have actual quotes for the Council at Monday night's meeting. I <br />would also like to personally thank the Council for yet another odd assignment. <br /> <br />Contacts <br />Metropolitan Mosquito Control District <br />Moores Ag.
