The Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District (District) is a special district and is one
of over 100 agencies statewide specifically dedicated to protecting public health by controlling
rats, flies, mosquitoes, Red Imported Fire Ants and other vector related problems.
The District was formed in 1947, originally as the Orange County Mosquito Abatement District, in
accordance with local authority provided by the Mosquito Abatement Act of 1915 and further
supported by the California Health and Safety Codes. The District was responsible for protecting
the growing population of Orange County from mosquitoes and mosquito -borne diseases. In
1975, the Orange County Board of Supervisors conducted an efficiency study that concluded
that the District could effectively assume the responsibility for comprehensive vector control.
Consequently, fly and rat control, formerly part of the Orange County Health Department, was
transferred to the District. At that time the name of the District was changed to the Orange
County Mosquito and Vector Control District. In 2004, the District reestablished a Red Imported
Fire Ant program after the State stopped funding the program they had established in 2000.

Operation of the District is overseen by a Board of Trustees comprised of 35 members, each

The current budget approved by the Board of Trustees supports District activities in providing
vector control services to County residents. Funding also supports education programs on
vectors that are presented by staff at school and civic group meetings. The District also has
printed material available to the public upon request that describes what citizens can do to keep
their homes and property free of rats, flies, and mosquitoes, Red Imported Fire Ant, and pests
that may be found around the yard and inside the home.
