The Pioneer Valley Mosquito Control District (PVMCD) was established in 2017 by the State Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board (SRMCB) under M.G.L. Ch. 252 and provides arbovirus surveillance and mitigation services to member communities across Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire Counties.
Our Mission
The Pioneer Valley Mosquito Control District (PVMCD) is dedicated to safeguarding the health of its member communities in Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire Counties by addressing the public health risks associated with mosquito-borne diseases. Our primary objective is to meticulously monitor and effectively mitigate the transmission of these diseases through the implementation of a robust Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM) program. This program is designed to encompass a wide range of environmentally conscious and scientifically proven mitigation strategies, aiming to prevent the need for extensive wide-area adulticide applications.
The IMM program employs techniques for mosquito control grounded in a comprehensive understanding of mosquito biology and disease dynamics. When implemented correctly, these scientifically proven strategies not only reduce mosquito populations but also pose no danger to the public and have minimal to no environmental impact.
