INTEGRATED MOSQUITO CONTROL SERVICES
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
West Nile Virus is here to stay. With the rapid spread of West Nile Virus mosquito-borne
disease across the United States and into Colorado during the late summer of 2002, and the
dramatic human and animal epidemic that occurred during the summer of 2003, the need for
mosquito control and mosquito-borne disease surveillance is now more important than ever
Since its discovery in New York in 1999, WNV human cases have been reported there each
year since In most states the numbers have decline from the initial spike, but in a few states,
like Pennsylvania in 2003, cases have surged again. Here in Colorado, with our high numbers
of Culex tarsalis mosquitoes we really do not know what will happen in future seasons. But
those communities, like Jefferson County that have had CMC operated mosquito control
programs in place for years are now well positioned to offer the best protection to their citizens.
The following proposal has been re-designed with West Nile Virus in mind. The new program
will provide not only our traditional comprehensive IPM-based larval and adult mosquito
surveillance services but will now better target Culex (potential disease vector) mosquitoes and
offer expanded mosquito-borne disease surveillance services for the Jefferson County for the
2004 season and beyond.
In the years since inception, Colorado Mosquito Control's programs have rapidly developed into
some of the foremost environmentally sensitive and technologically advanced, Integrated
Mosquito Control Programs in the United States. Colorado Mosquito Control, Inc. (CMC) as the
operational contractor has designed implemented and refined a comprehensive mosquito
control program based on the sound scientific principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
In addition to the operational objectives of environmentally sound larval and adult mosquito
control, CMC has also successfully implemented public education and informational programs
to help residents discover the importance of effective mosquito control on the public health and
quality of life in their communities. Other important support services such as a wide-ranging
informational website, call notification and shutoff program and implementation of a GIS
(Geographic Information System) that works in conjunction with City and County government
GIS systems have expanded the scope and breadth of the Mosquito Control Program
operation.
The following proposal will expand and extend the same quality surveillance, control and
educational program that CMC has so successfully operated in the Jefferson County Mosquito
Control Program in past years Thank you for the opportunity

2. INTEGRATED MOSQUITO MANAGEMENT
To control insect pests during the 1960's and 70's, pest control operators and farmers in both urban and
agricultural environments leaned heavily toward the use of chemical insecticides. Pesticides have resulted
in many astounding successes in controlling human insect-borne diseases, in the dramatic increase in
food production worldwide, and in improving the quality of life for billions of people. However, this heavy
reliance on chemicals has also spurred major concerns about the safety of these chemicals toward man
and the natural environment. These sometimes real and sometimes perceived environmental concerns
have led to a major shift philosophically and practically toward the concept of Integrated Pest Management
(IPM). There are several accepted definitions for IPM, here are two of the best:
Integrated Pest Management:
"A process consisting of the balanced use of cultural, biological, and least toxic
chemical procedures that are environmentally compatible and economically feasible to
reduce pest populations to a tolerable level"
"To control insect pests in a safe, efficient, and economic manner while preventing
damage to humans, wildlife and the natural environment"
Developments in mosquito control, over the past three decades, have provided the necessary tools to
allow the implementation of a true Integrated Pest Management Program in Jefferson County These
include; enhanced surveillance techniques, biological larvicides and control agents, ultra-low volume
(ULV) application, digital aerial photography, and geographic information systems, computer database
technologies, field control strategies and public education and informational programs aimed at reducing
backyard and agricultural mosquito production. By combining these tools with historical data derived from
the program over the past 17 years, CMC will continue to refine our IPM approach, we call Integrated
Mosquito Management (IMM). The IMM process places an emphasis on survey and mapping utilizing a
state-of-the-art GIS (Geographic Information System), population monitoring and surveillance, and
intensive larval mosquito control using computer technology to target the use of least-toxic, natural
biological controls. CMC will use chemical insecticides only when necessary and only as a last resort.
The adult mosquito control component will involve the careful and strategic application of very low-toxicity,
rapidly biodegradable, ultra-low-volume materials only when established nuisance population thresholds
are reached.
o All activities and methods performed in the Jefferson County Mosquito Control
Program are consistent with US EPA, CDC, US Dept. of Agriculture and AMCA
recommendations.
o All pesticides used in the Jefferson County Mosquito Control Program will be
certified for that use and all applications will be made in compliance with the
specific label.

3. ENCEPHALITIS SURVEILLANCE AND MONITORING
r=-=~'---=.
Defining the distribution, density, and species makeup of a target mosquito population in relation to at risk
human (and equine) populations is essential to the success of a program that is attempting to control
disease carrying and annoyance mosquitoes. Several tools and techniques exist and will be used within
the Jefferson County Program
CDC Light Trap Network. A major tool in any mosquito control program is a mosquito trapping devise
called a CDC Light Trap. This trap was developed in the 1960's
and has been the standard tool for monitoring mosquito population
levels, density, and species makeup for almost thirty years. These
specially designed, battery powered light traps baited with CO2
(carbon dioxide), will be routinely operated at fixed data points
throughout the mosquito management area to collect adult
mosquitoes. The blood meal seeking female mosquito follows the
CO2 vapor plume produced by the sublimation of the dry-ice into
carbon dioxide gas, as would be produced by the exhaling process
of any free air breathing animal, including humans. Once near the
trap, a small light bulb draws the mosquito closer and a fan then
sucks the mosquito into a collection bag alive.
In addition to the population density trends, (quantitative), our
monitoring traps also give us insight into the efficacy of the
larviciding work, indications of inward migrations from outside of
the control area, and important information about the species
complex present, (qualitative), at any give time. Another important
aspect of the mosquito light trap monitoring function is the
identification of adult mosquitoes which is actually a way of finding
out about potential new larval sources. Without correct
identification, mistakes can be made during treatment. We also use our species determination
information to alert county health officials of the possible disease (Encephalitis) vectors Culex tarsalis and
Culex pipiens. Once the adult mosquitoes are identified, the likely water sources in the vicinity are
mapped and placed on the weekly inspection and treatment list.
A minimum of ten (10) CDC Light traps will be operated at sites selected by Health Department personnel
within Jefferson County Light Traps will be set one night per week beginning the week of June 2nd and
will continue in operation through the last week of August, or later, as needed Trap maintenance and
operation will be the complete responsibility of CMC
Reiter Gravid Trap Network. During the summer of 2003,
CMC pioneered the use of Reiter Gravid Traps in Colorado as a
surveillance tool targeted toward Culex pipiens and salinarius
mosquitoes A new tool in the mosquitolencephalitis surveillance
program, these specially designed, battery powered traps are
designed to attract and capture blood-fed, ovipositing Culex female
mosquitoes only These are the best mosquitoes for virus testing
because they have already taken a blood-meal and are much more
likely to have virus in them when compared to the general
mosquito population. The trap is not baited with CO2 like the CDC
trap but is inverted over a container of liquid material that is
attractive to the ovi.positing female
A minimum of six (6) Reiter Gravid traps will be operated at sites

selected by Health Department personnel within Jefferson County Traps will be set one night per week
beginning the week of June 2nd and will continue in operation through the last week of August. or later, as
needed. Trap maintenance and operation will be the complete
responsibility of CMC
Identification of the trapped mosquitoes will be done the following
day after the mosquitoes are returned to the lab and killed The
trapped mosquitoes will be counted and identified to the following
species Culex tarsalis, Culex pipiens, Culex salinarius,
Aedes/Ochleratattus species and Others. Pools will then be made
and sent to the Colorado Dept. of Public Health for virus testing.
Identifying and Targeting Culex Mosquitoes A new
training program has been developed over the past season by CMC
management for our field technicians which will allow them to
identify, in the field, 2nd through 4th instar mosquito larvae to
Genus. This will allow CMC field techs to differentiate floodwater Genus nuisance mosquitoes from Culex
disease vector mosquitoes. This ability will then allow CMC, over time, to identify and eventually target
those sites which regularly or periodically produce disease vector Culex mosquitoes.
Mosquito-borne Disease Monitoring. CMC will communicate regularly with the Jefferson County,
Adams, Larimer, Boulder, and Weld, Health Departments, the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment and with the Centers for Disease Control Ft. Collins for updates on the potential for
mosquito-borne disease transmission in our region.
Dead Bird Collection
All CMC field crews and technicians are trained to watch for, and properly collect dead birds. All dead bird
collections by CMC staff will be given to designated Jeff Co Health Dept. personnel for delivery to the
Colorado Dept. of Public Health for testing.
Sentinel Chicken Flock Operations
One sentinel chicken flock of 10
chickens will be maintained by CMC in
Jefferson County The flock location
will be determined with assistance of
County Health Department personnel
who may be familiar with historic
mosquito problem and disease
transmission areas.
Colorado Mosquito Control , Inc. will
provide trained staff members to
distribute, and bleed sentinel chickens,
centrifuge sera samples, separate
serum plasma, provide refrigerated
storage, deliver separated samples to
Jefferson County Health Dept. and
work in the Jefferson County Lab to help in the ELISA procedure.
All material, equipment and supplies will be provided by Colorado Mosquito Control, Inc. Chicken feed will
be purchased by CMC and delivered to the flock location. If possible a location will be chosen so that a
local resident will care for, feed and maintain the flocks. At the end of the season the chicken flocks will
become the property of the land owner where the flocks were located in return for their care and feeding of
the chickens and in return for our access to the property

4. IMM LARVAL MOSQUITO CONTROL
The foundation and focus of the Jefferson County IMM Program is the environmentally
sensitive control of mosquito larvae within the designated service area. Effective control
of larvae will prevent their development into adult mosquitoes, and therefore, reduce the
need for adult mosquito control activities. The key to environmentally oriented larval
control is the organization and classification of active and potential larval development
sites.
GIS Colorado Mosquito
Control uses a
Geographic Information
System which combines highly accurate
digital aerial photography, computerized
mapping and a database called, the
Computerized Mosquito Management
System (CMMS). The CMMS system was
designed to optimize the larval control
component of an integrated pest
management program utilizing both
database information and digital mapping
via ArcView GIS (Geographic Information
System).
"j,'-
Survey. CMC continuously surveys and
systematically maps all potential mosquito
development sites within the service area.
For each mapped site, the acreage is
determined, and a reference number and habitat type are assigned The community's site information is
then input into a database to establish one of two fundamental CMMS files. The second file contains a
detailed breeding history for each site. The historical database
includes information on which sites have actually produced larvae,
the time of the season, the frequency of larval occurrence, and the
species found in each site.
I&L (Inspection & Larviciding) Over the initial period of
database development, the site history file is filled with all the
information gathered during routine weekly site inspection of all
sites, and larviciding application services performed. After the
initial development period, using an interaction between the site
information file and the site history file, CMC can produce a field
inspection and control strategy for each site within the program
area. The sites are split into two categories, non-breeding and
targeted The non-breeding sites are considered a low-priority, and
bi-weekly or monthly inspections will maintain the data-base for
these sites The sites with a history of producing mosquitoes will be
targeted for intensive field inspections and subsequent appropriate
larval control measures
Just as no one medicine is prescribed for all illnesses, no one
larvicide is suitable for the control of all mosquito species in every

type of habitat. The CMMS system allows CMC to do "prescription larval control" for each individual site.
This strategy is based on habitat type, and species history Permanent water may be targeted for stocking
with predator fish for biological control. Intermittently wet/dry prolific breeding sites can be targeted for
pre-hatch applications of Altosid iSO-Day Briquets or Abate 5% pellets that offer a 30 day residual, Culex
producing sites can be targeted for treatment with residual Bacillus sphaericus and the balance of targeted
sites that are listed as potentially requiring larviciding at some point during the season can be addressed
with Bti granular The community's CMMS is updated and fine-tuned continuouSly throughout the entire
mosquito season.
Treatment Methods Sites can be treated by hand
application, power backpack, all terrain vehicle (ATV) or in
some cases helicopter Entry onto private property to treat for
mosquito larvae, by any means, shall be by prior authorization
from owner/agent.
-..-.....
Stormwater Catchbasins Inspection & Treatment
Also for 2004, CMC will inspect a representative number of
open-street storm-water catch basins throughout the service
area for the presence of Culex and other mosquito larval
development. These catchbasins have been shown in some
areas to be a significant source of Culex disease vector
mosquito production in residential areas. If indeed these CB's are producing significant numbers of
mosquitoes, CMC will make appropriate control applications of Altosid or Vectolex (Bacillus sphaericus)
as needed.
Quality Control. All larval mosquito control operations will be monitored by various methods including;
next-day spot checks of previously inspected/treated larval sites by managementlQC personnel, COC
trapping results, and detailed monitoring of insecticide usage through equipment calibration and inventory
depletion.
CMMS. CMC's Computerized Mosquito Management System (CMMS) provides a cost-effective, site
specific, "Prescription-Oriented" plan that prioritizes field operations and reduces costly inspections and
unwarranted insecticide use The CMMS system allows the mosquito control program to become much
more environmentally sensitive, because the use of biological control is encouraged, and only minimum
doses are required to maintain good control The CMMS program is an unquestionably effective tool in
the Jefferson County Integrated Mosquito Management Program
Water Management & Source Reduction. As a part of our routine visual site inspections, CMC
inspectors will often note such areas as clogged ditches and streams, neglected swimming pools, and
illegal tire and trash dump sites which are potential public health hazards Small scale water management
or source reduction activities will be done throughout the mosquito season by clearing obstructions from
clogged channels and hand digging at appropriate and manageable sites in the program area. CMC will
outline these problems in our reports, and is always available to assist local code enforcement officials in
the location and identification of these health hazard sites.

5. PUBLIC EDUCATION, WEBSITE, NOTIFICATION AND SHUTOFF SYSTEM,
PRIVATE PROPERTY ACCESS
Colorado Mosquito Control is committed to educating the public about the safety and effectiveness of our
state-of-the-art IPM mosquito control program
Website. Over the years, CMC has developed as part of our educational program an extensive and
comprehensive website devoted to mosquito control education and information dissemination. Local
spray schedules will also be listed daily on the site. Please visit this site at www comosquitocontrol.com
for more information. Also for the 2003 season, CMC will list all planned adulticide applications on our
website which will allow Jefferson County residents to check UL V adulticide activities planned for their
specific area.
Literature. CMC has traditionally educated the public via an informational booklet entitled "Mosquito
Control, The Environment and You" a guide to Understanding Modern Mosquito Control, and other
informational pamphlets, and will continue to make these available as needed. CMC will also coordinate
with the Jefferson County Health Department on timely and appropriate press releases and news articles.
Notification & Shutoff System. Prior to starting any Adulticide Application, CMC will contact
individually by telephone those community residents that have health, environmental or philosophical
concerns about the spraying and have requested that they be notified, and those individuals listed in the
State of Colorado Pesticide Sensitive Registry. A minimum of three attempts to reach each of these
residents will be made between the hours of 12 noon and 10 P.M. prior to the spray application; messages
will be left on any answering system Also, upon request, addresses will be marked on CMC's operational
maps, and the UL V insecticide will be "shutoff" in front of, and upwind from, these properties.
Entry on to Private Property. The entry onto private property to treat for mosquito larvae shall be by
prior authorization from owner/agent.
6. OPTIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY SERVICES
(ADDITIONAL COST)
Since our contract is based primarily on IPM methods and is targeted toward larval mosquito control with
adult mosquito surveillance via CDC light traps, and only limited and targeted small area UL V adulticide
applications to areas with severe annoyance problems, and does not include large scale (entire city) or on-
going multiple adulticide spray applications we have included contractual price quotes for additional vector
mosquito surveillance trapping and a per mile cost for additional adulticide applications in the case of a
public health emergency
6.1 CDC Light Trap and/or Reiter Gravid Trap Surveillance
Upon request CMC will operate additional CDC light traps and/or Reiter gravid traps for expanded
adult mosquito and disease vector mosquito surveillance within the Jefferson County
Identification of the trapped mosquitoes will be done the following day after the mosquitoes are
returned to the lab and killed The trapped mosquitoes will be counted and identified to the
following species, Culex tarsal/s, Culex p/piens, Aedes/Ochleratattus species.

Gravid Traps are designed to collect gravid (blood fed) container breeding and potential disease
vector Culex pipiens mosquitoes. Captured females mosquitoes will be identified and reported
along with other trapping results weekly If requested, these mosquitoes will be pooled and sent
to the Colorado Dept. of Health for virus testing.
Cost includes all equipment, dry ice, vehicles, labor, shipping and reporting.
Cost per traplniqht: $68.00
6.2 ULV Adulticide Application
For large scale adult mosquito control, CMC will apply Biomist 3+15 or Permanone 418 RTU
synthetic pyrethroid insecticides (permethrin). These products offer a very low toxicity, low odor,
rapid biodegradation, and excellent mosquito mortality This material will be applied along
designated roads, streets and off-road areas using the ultra-low-volume (ULV) technique at 8.0
ounces per minute at 10mph vehicle speed and in strict compliance with the label and all US.
EPA, Colorado Dept. of Agriculture, and Colorado Dept. of Public Health regulations.
