"(10) To approve a written mosquito or other
vermin management plan submitted by a landowner
requesting that their property be excluded from treatment by
the abatement district. Such plan must be specific to the
landowner's property, provide adequate control measures, and
be implemented by the landowner. The abatement district
shall refrain from treatment of property included in the
approved plan, but shall maintain monitoring and
surveillance activities. If the landowner fails to follow
the plan or does not provide adequate control measures, the
abatement district may abate the mosquitoes or other
vermin."
NCAP has
worked with the Ada County Mosquito Abatement District to
develop three sample control plans: 1) average urban yard; 2)
small acreage; and 3) organic farm/garden. Use these sample
plans as a guideline for developing your own mosquito monitoring
and control plan. Then submit the plan to your local mosquito
abatement district. If you do not live in an area with an
established mosquito abatement district, submit your plan to the
county commissioners.
Idaho's
opt-out law and Ada County's application and sample mosquito
control plans can serve as a model for other communities that
face West Nile virus spraying.
