SERVICE ALERT

Monday, April 22, 2024: We are starting our annual Spring Aerial Larvicide this morning.  We will be conducting the application on the western part of the District this morning.  Click here to see the wetlands which are scheduled to be treated.  We will be treating with VectoBac GS (Label/SDS).

• 2024 Legal Notice of Aerial Larviciding
• The Tick App.  The Tick App team at Columbia University is seeking partnership with Health Departments in the Northeast region. The app is available for free at the app store or google play, and could be used as a passive surveillance tool for tick exposure. As of May 2020, we have more than 3000 downloads. As more people participate in the app we can better understand tick exposure patterns over time in specific locations. This year we are aiming to partner with Health Departments and Vector control units  across the Northeast region to promote The Tick App and, in turn, receive tick encounter data aggregated at a zip code level. This data would help the recipient Health Department identify tick risk in their area of influence. If you are interested and would like to partner with us, please contact Maria Diuk-Wasser at mad2256@columbia.edu
