Vector Control Services

Metro Health provides pest control services on public property for mosquitoes to protect the residents of and visitors to San Antonio from diseases that these organisms can spread. Vector Control uses source reduction techniques and pesticides as necessary to control mosquitoes on public property by eliminating the breeding source, applying pesticides to stagnant water. “Fogging” for adult mosquitoes is carried out occasionally only on an as-needed basis.

The City does not have authority to treat private property for bats. The Vector Control program can only inspect your private property and, with the owner’s permission, make recommendations. You will need to hire a private company to treat your property. If the bats are living in an occupied dwelling, it is recommended that they be excluded from the building by sealing all entry points. Bat species are protected by State Law and should be left alone if they are not in an occupied building and not a threat to humans.
