Ada County Mosquito Abatement District

No Treatment Request / Opt-Out Program

In 2007, the Idaho Legislature revised Idaho Code to include a new provision that allows residents living within a Mosquito Abatement District to opt-out of the district’s control/treatment program. 

As outlined in § 39-2804(10) of Idaho Code, a landowner requesting to exclude his property from the abatement district’s mosquito control program must submit a written Mosquito Management Plan specific to his property.  The detailed plan must provide adequate control measures and be implemented by the landowner.

Please be aware that if a landowner fails to follow his Mosquito Management Plan, or does not provide adequate control measures, the abatement district may abate the mosquitoes.  Further, pursuant to Idaho Code §39-2812 County Commissioners are authorized to initiate activities to respond to public health disasters and emergencies associated with an elevated or  anticipated pest populations that may constitute a risk to the public’s health and welfare.
