This free, family-friendly event invites residents of all ages to explore hands-on activities, interactive displays, and live demonstrations that highlight the District’s Integrated Vector Management Program.

Educational displays will showcase mosquito and tick surveillance methods used to identify and prevent emerging threats to public health, non-toxic rodent control strategies, and simple tips for reducing mosquito sources around the home.

The Open House is designed to be both educational and fun, with something for everyone, from curious kids to engaged adults. Guests can learn how mosquito traps work, meet the vector control technicians who respond to service requests, and leave with practical, easy-to-use information to help protect their families and neighborhoods.
