The City of Tawas City has contracted with Advanced Pest Management (AMP) to perform mosquito control throughout the city for 2023.
HOW THE PROGRAM WILL WORK
Initial spring larvicide application of Vectobac G (bti) to Lowland/woodland wet areas during mid-April to mid-May. This is accomplished by APM personnel using gas powered backpacks.
The mapping and surveying of mosquito breeding sites in Tawas City along with the development of historical data. The larviciding of these sites when found breeding with Vectobac G (bti) or Vectolex CG (Bs). This will be an ongoing process.
