Mosquito and Yard Education Consultant - Mosquito Control

Save to Favorites

Polk County's Mosquito Control is looking for volunteer Mosquito Education and Yard Consultants to serve as part of a group. The group will break into teams of two (2) that will approach homes, offer educational materials with the residents, and potentially walk the yard with the resident for individual needs. Volunteers will need to complete a 2-hour consultant training course. Teams will travel with a Mosquito Control Technician with teams of two consultants approaching each home and inquire with residents about providing free training on how to reduce mosquitos in their backyards. You will provide walking tours with the resident through his/her yard and identify containers (flower pots, cups) and plants that should be drained and sprinkle larvacite granual packets. Finally you will complete tracking information such as: number of homes visited, number of residents educated, service requests for spraying; that will be shared with Mosquito Control.

They bite, they buzz and they can annoy any barbecue. But Polk County's Mosquito Control unit is constantly at work to combat the pesky insects and improve public health.
