About Us
Protecting North Morrow Since 1978
Our Roots Founded by the community in 1978, the North Morrow Vector Control District was born out of a vital need: protecting our families and livestock from Equine Encephalitis. What started as a focused mission to manage the Culex tarsalis mosquito has grown into a comprehensive, year-round public health operation.
Small Team, Big Reach We don't just cover the neighborhoods of Boardman and Irrigon. Our boots are on the ground across 274 square miles of diverse terrain, including:
- Bustling industrial zones
- Expansive agricultural farmlands
- Over 3,000 acres of protected wildlife refuges
The "IMM" Advantage We don't just "spray." We use Integrated Mosquito Management (IMM)—a science-based strategy that combines surveillance, habitat reduction, and responsible treatment. Our goal isn't just to kill mosquitoes; it's to create a healthier environment for everyone in North Morrow County.
"No animal on earth has touched so directly and profoundly the lives of so many human beings. For all of history, and all over the globe, she has been a nuisance, a pain, and an angel of death... All this, and she is roughly the size and weight of a grape seed." — Andrew Spielman, Sc.D. & Michael D’AntonioAt North Morrow Vector Control, we respect the impact of this tiny predator. That is why we dedicate ourselves to protecting our community from the risks she carries."
