Control Methods

Tangipahoa Mosquito Abatement District #1 (TMAD) uses an IPM approach. IPM stands for Integrated Pest Management, which simply means that multiple control measures are used instead of a single method. TMAD utilizes Education, Source Reduction, Biological Controls, Larviciding and Adulticiding.
