Mission Statement:   The mission of Mosquito Control is to provide Leon County residents with effective and environmentally sound mosquito control services.

Drop Off Old Tires at County Amnesty Days for Free

To help prevent breeding grounds for mosquitoes, Leon County Government, in partnership with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, will host its tire amnesty event for citizens to drop off tires for free. All Leon County citizens who bring a valid ID verifying their County residence may participate.

The event will take place over several weeks beginning Thursday, October 1, and continuing through Friday, November 20 with social distancing guidelines in place. Residents may dispose of up to 25 passenger car tires free of charge. Commercial loads will not be accepted.

Starting October 1, citizens can drop off tires at the Leon County Solid Waste Facility from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday-Friday or at one of the Rural Waste Service Centers from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday-Sunday. 

The centers are located at the following locations:

Mosquito Control Services

Mosquito Control services are available to all city and county residents. Direct services include inspections, larvicide applications, truck sprays and, where appropriate, placement of mosquito fish. 

For evening biting mosquitoes, large property or street spraying is the most efficient control method. 

All services are conducted at no cost.
