Fight the Bite
Protect yourself against disease carrying mosquitoes
Mosquitoes are a fact of life in the South West, with many large breeding sites located close to the places we live, work and play. Mosquitoes can at times impact significantly on the health and lifestyle of residents and visitors to the region. Ross River and Barmah Forest virus cases are reported regularly in the Leschenault and Geographe regions and can have serious effects on the health of those who contract them.
What are we doing about it?
Due to the threat of mosquito borne diseases and the lifestyle impacts high numbers of mosquitoes can create, the your local government agencies are working together in an ongoing program to reduce mosquito populations for residents and visitors. Some of our activities include

- Ground Treatments
- Education
- Post Treatment surveillance
- Mosquito Mark and Recapture Project
