The 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?
 
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.

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 breed-
ing sites, and spraying to reduce the adult mosquito population.               
These three approaches are called Integrated Pest Management.

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.
