Thanks to Measure Y funding, the Town of Yucca Valley is pleased to announce a new partnership with San Bernardino County (SBC) Public Health to provide Town-wide vector control services with the Mosquito and Vector Control Program (MVCP) through June 30, 2026. A vector is any insect, rodent or animal of public health significance, capable of harboring or transmitting human disease (such as West Nile virus).

The Town initiated this new service in response to increased reports of mosquitos in the Morongo Basin. Evolving weather patterns, increased tourism and more residential pools , which can serve as a breeding ground for mosquitoes if not properly maintained, have all been cited as factors in the uptick of mosquitos.

San Bernardino County offers courtesy inspections and consultations for a number of pests, including mosquitos, rodents, bed bugs, fleas, ticks, flies, cockroaches and bees/wasps. If identified, traps will be placed in areas attracting vectors. While this service is free, residents are responsible for handling any additional costs incurred from necessary abatement work, such as draining a pool. 

As part of this partnership, SBC Public Health will provide service updates to the Town Council upon request, as well as periodic educational outreach at local community events.
