The San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District is an independent special district serving all of San Mateo County. The District is governed by a 21-member Board of Trustees consisting of appointees from each city and one representative for the County at-large. Menlo Park’s representative is Justin Evans.

The District uses an integrated pest management strategy to safeguard the health and comfort of the residents of San Mateo County. Its mission and goals include:

• Preventing the emergence of biting adult mosquitoes by applying control to the larval stage.
• Monitoring adult mosquito populations to uncover new sites of larval development and assess the 
effectiveness of control.
• Monitoring the spread of vector-borne diseases and prevent the occurrence of these diseases among
district residents.
• Evaluating new pesticides and methods of control for mosquitoes.
• Increasing public awareness of District services with an active educational program.
