Mosquito Larvae Habitat

What is the Midtown Mosquito Pilot Project?

The Gardens, in conjunction with University of Arizona entomologists Drs. Elizabeth Willott and Tim Dennehy, is working with surrounding neighbors and community in a Pilot Project to make our neighborhoods more people friendly and less mosquito friendly.

The Gardens is hosting presentations and workshops offering information about how to reduce problems with mosquitoes while maintaining or enhancing quality of life.

Please attend these presentations and workshops and consider volunteering to assist with this project.

Resources Available for You
