Ladies and Gentlemen,

Here is the consolidation of the various program

documents for the Vector Control Program into a single volume. I would

like to take the opportunity to clear up any misconception from last

week’s meeting. It’s stated on a new posting on the Adena Brook web

site reporting on the aforementioned meeting that the Columbus Public

Health Standard Operational Procedures for the Vector Control have not

been updated since 1999. The Columbus Public Health Vector Control

Program’s written mosquito contol plan was reviewed in 1999 by the

Central Ohio Sierra Club and found to be consistent with Integrated

Pest Management principles. That document has evolved since then into

several separate operational documents – compiled here into one

manual. The SOP documents are reviewed  at the end of each mosquito

season and the program is updated annually.
