About CMCD
CMCD is an independent special district with an elected five-member Board of Commissioners. CMCD’s mission is to protect the health and comfort of our community through the safest and most economical means available.

Science & Methodology
The District develops mosquito control plans using an integrated mosquito management (IMM) approach. IMM uses a combination of methods to prevent and control both nuisance mosquitoes and mosquitoes that spread viruses like dengue, West Nile, Zika, and others. These methods control mosquitoes based on an understanding of mosquito biology, the mosquito life cycle, and the way mosquitoes spread viruses.
