This Division manages and abates arthropods that
promote disease or create nuisance conditions. This
program is staffed and equipped to manage and reduce
populations of mosquitoes, biting flies and other
stinging and injurious arthropods in all areas of
Escambia County, including the City of Pensacola and
the Town of Century. This is accomplished by using
living organisms that destroy pest species, by identifying
and implementing sanitation practices, water management
procedures, construction standards and community codes
that limit pest propagation; by applying pesticides
of proper strength and type to destroy the appropriate
developmental stages of each pest species; and by
combining and coordinating the use of these methods
and practices into a comprehensive integrated pest
management (IPM) program that allows for minimal use
of pesticide products.
