Butte County Mosquito and Vector
Control District Data Sheet
The Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District (BCMVCD) was established in 1948 to serve all of Butte County excepting those areas that were already located within the Durham and Oroville Mosquito Abatement Districts. In 1994, "Vector Control" was added to the District name to reflect the additional disease surveillance and information now provided. The legal authority to provide service is Health and Safety Code 2000 et seq. The mission of the Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District is primarily to suppress mosquito-transmitted disease and to reduce the annoyance levels of mosquitoes and diseases associated with ticks, fleas, and other vectors through environmentally compatible control practices and public education.
