MISSION

Our mission is to protect the health and quality of life of the residents of St. Tammany Parish by minimizing the risk of mosquito-transmitted diseases and managing nuisance mosquitoes to a tolerable level.

ACTION

We achieve this mission by sensitively monitoring mosquito abundance or indicators of mosquito-transmitted diseases and controlling larval and adult mosquitoes with environmental modification or the selective use of public health pesticides. 

VISION

We envision a community where residents and visitors enjoy outdoor activities with minimal annoyance from mosquitoes and the risk of diseases they can transmit.

Board of Commissioners

A Board of five volunteer Commissioners oversee St. Tammany Parish Mosquito Abatement operations and set property tax millage rates. Commissioners are residents of St. Tammany themselves, and are the liaison between citizens and the District’s operations.  Commissioners are appointed by vote of the St. Tammany Parish Council and the Parish President. The Board holds monthly public meetings at the District office to discuss District business.

The Board of Commissioners meeting schedule is:
