MCCI is committed to providing all residents of Lafayette and St. Mary Parishes with as much information as possible regarding mosquitoes, their life cycle, their habits, and elimination of breeding areas.


Many are unaware that they are breeding mosquitoes around their home. Look at this diagram of a yard. There many areas in every yard the can breed mosquitoes. Examples are old tires, cans, buckets, flower pots, rain barrels, and any item that can hold water. This is commonly known as source reduction. By taking a few moments a week, you can do your part to stop mosquito breeding.

 

MCCI's Public Education Director, Michelle Boudreaux, has presentations available for pre-schools, elementary schools, senior citizens, clubs and organizations. These presentations are given in Lafayette and St. Mary parishes.

 

Anyone interested in such a presentation or have any questions, please contact Mrs. Boudreaux at (337)593-0123 or (337) 365-6995 between the hours of 8AM and 4:30PM, Monday - Friday.
