The North Shore Mosquito Abatement District produces this Web page in
order to provide citizens within the geographical confines of our area with
the following information:

1. How can citizens eliminate mosquito breeding sites
around their property?

2. How can citizens provide information or ask for assistance
from the district?

3. When and Where will the district be spraying to reduce
the adult mosquito population?
District Mission:  Every
year, the District pursues three
methods of controlling the
mosquito population on the
North Shore. The full-time staff
directs the energies of summer
help in reducing breeding sites,
inspecting and treating existing
breeding sites, and spraying
The Illinois legislature enacted the Mosquito Abatement District Act in
1925, prompting local citizens to establish a mosquito abatement district
on the North Shore. The North Shore Mosquito Abatement District is
operated with taxes levied from property located in Evanston, Niles, New
Trier, eastern Northfield, and eastern Maine townships. Five appointed
Trustees govern the District without compensation. The Trustees of the
North Shore Mosquito Abatement are: Carol Blustein, Otto Cesario,
Nelson Howard, John Zbesko, and William Zimmer. The Superintendent is  
Robert Berry. The District is responsible for reducing and controlling the
regional mosquito population.
The Reasons for this Mission are:
1. To reduce the probability of mosquito-borne disease;
2. To minimize annoyance of citizens by biting mosquitoes; and
3. To educate citizens in ways to reduce breeding sites on their properties.
