PEST MANAGEMENT
What is the Pest Management
Program?
The Carteret County Pest Management
Program includes two different services, Mosquito Control
and Animal Control.
Mosquito Control seeks to prevent
the transmission of disease carried by insects (vector born)
to humans through education, inspections, surveillance,
mapping, and monitoring of known or suspected breeding and
harborage places.
Animal Control includes the
enforcement of County and State laws regarding domestic
animals and rabies control laws and regulations. Citations
are given to individuals who let their animals run at large,
off their property and without a leash. Trained specialists
investigate reports of bites to humans and domestic animals
by wild animals known to be carriers for rabies (raccoons
and foxes).
