Invite us to public fairs and events!

Learning is the key to mosquito prevention! We want to teach your community about vectors (pests that can make you sick) and how to protect yourself against them. We attend many types of events including:

• Community and public events
• Science and health fairs
• School fairs
• Library storytime

Presentations

We offer free presentations to community organizations, HOAs, gardening clubs, and any other interested groups. We can join in person or virtually and can be flexible in length. Just let us know what you want to talk about, whether it’s mosquitoes, rats, or general program info. Contact us to schedule your presentations!

School program

The Let's Learn About Mosquitoes! school program is a fun and interactive program for 4th/5th grade classes. It teaches students about the mosquito lifecycle, how mosquitoes can make us sick, and how to prevent them. Our program follows Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and gives students a hands-on way to learn all about mosquitoes. We can also adjust the program to other grade levels.
