You can help reduce mosquito populations in Commerce City’s neighborhoods by eliminating breeding habitat on your property. Please drain standing water anywhere it collects on your property, especially common areas such as:

• Gutters
• Flower pots
• Garbage cans/lids
• Outdoor toys
• Tires
• Fountains/bird baths
• Buckets

Fight the Bite!

To protect yourself from West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne diseases, use the following tips to avoid mosquito bites:

• Dress in long sleeves and pants
• Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing
• Use mosquito repellents containing DEET
• Limit outdoor activity around dawn and dusk, when mosquitos are most active

Mosquito Management Program

The city’s mosquito management program is aimed at reducing populations and lowering the risk of disease through reducing habitat, eliminating larvae, trapping and testing mosquitos and – if necessary – adult mosquito spraying. City contractor Vector Disease Control International uses methods that maximize effectiveness without compromising the safety of residents, pets or the environment.
