Winter Work for Mosquito Control

What in the world is mosquito up to when there aren’t many mosquitoes? During the
winter months the number of mosquitoes flying around decrease, and Richmond County
Mosquito Control keeps working for the public.
During colder months your public health mosquito control workers are busy continuing
surveillance by continuing to set traps to track mosquito populations, especially
during warmer Augusta winter days. We identify mosquitoes and ensure that we are
keeping tabs on the mosquitoes that emerge during these warm spells.

There is a lot of technology and planning that goes into protecting our citizens from
mosquitoes during the active spring, summer, and fall months for mosquitoes, and we
are busy working to make sure our equipment is operational, running smoothly, and
that we are prepared to use the best possible practices and most up-to-date
information about mosquito management come spring time.
We spend time refreshing and training our team, inspecting properties and retention
ponds that may contribute to mosquito issues in warmer months, and analyzing our data
and our treatment areas for the duration of the cooler season.

It may be mosquito “off-season”, but mosquito control continues working to ensure we
are well prepared for the warm weather and the inevitable return of mosquitoes!

Talk With Me Baby — Meet Baby Ella

Did you know that talking with your baby helps your baby's brain grow? It's true! Even though babies can't talk back, talking with your baby — singing songs, telling stories, asking questions — helps stimulate critical early brain development that is the foundation for learning. With a strong foundation, your baby will be able to read by third grade, (a major milestone) and will be more likely to graduate on time, and be healthy later in life.

Richmond County Health Department offers multiple Child Health services including: Childhood Safety, Children’s Medical Services (CMS), Hearing Screening for Infants, Children 1st, Babies Can’t Wait (BCW), nfants at High Risk, and SIDS Info
