Metropolitan Mosquito Control District 2020 Highlights
December 31, 2020
Video and Interactive Presentations Available for Teachers and Parents!
Calling all parents, teachers, and students: The Metropolitan Mosquito Control District wants to share our fun, informative video presentation with all of you! During a typical school year, MMCD employees visit classrooms ranging from early elementary up to high school to talk about the science of mosquito control. With restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic this year, we have moved that presentation all online with a fun and educational video. We would love for you to share it with learners of all ages!
The MMCD video includes information on:
- The Mosquito Life Cycle
- Mosquito Habitats
- How the Lab Identifies Mosquitoes
- How to Protect Yourself from Bites
- How to Control Mosquitoes
- Mosquito Control and the Environment
The video is broken up into 2-4 minute segments and presented in fun, educational ways including the Mosquito Bite Games, a competition to see who is smarter when it comes to avoiding mosquitoes.
