Mosquito control is the process of reducing the population of mosquitoes, usually to decrease the transmission of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever. Mosquito control may involve the use of insecticides, larvicides, and biological control agents. In Gainesville, Georgia, mosquito control is carried out by the Gainesville-Hall County Mosquito Control Commission.
Mosquito control is important because mosquitoes can transmit serious diseases to humans and animals. In addition, mosquitoes can be a nuisance, causing itchy bites and mengganggu sleep. Mosquito control can help to protect public health and improve quality of life.
