The City of Standish has contracted with APM Mosquito Control (APM) to provide an efficient and effective mosquito control program for 2026. The program consists of all phases of an Integrated Mosquito Management strategy against mosquitoes in the city.
- Adult mosquito monitoring/Disease Testing.
- Breeding site inspections and larviciding.
- ULV Adulticide applications.
- Perimeter Barrier Adulticide applications.
Detailed information about the program is available at the city offices.
To effectively educate and notify residents within the city for community Larviciding and ULV adulticide applications, APM and the City of Standish utilize the following methods:
- Initially the city mails a brochure about the mosquito control program to their residents. The brochure explains how the program works and gives any resident the opportunity to not participate. Copies of brochure are available at city hall. See brochure included with this correspondence.
- The city posts information about mosquito program at the city offices, community newsletters, as well as the official city website (https://www.cityofstandish.com/)
- Public notice in newspaper. A notice appears in the local paper announcing the initiation of larviciding and seasonal adulticiding, and how the program will work. Provides contact information and telephone number for anyone interested in further information to contact APM or city.
- A Call/Shut-off notification list is maintained as part of the city program. Before ULV adulticide applications take place APM will call any residents that request to remind them and inform them that a community mosquito control application will be happening that evening, weather permitting. Residents may also request that the ULV adulticide be shut off in front of and or upwind of their area. These areas are staked and noted on ULV adulticide operational maps.
- Mosquito control is often a topic of discussion at city meetings and residents are always encouraged at meetings to find out more about their local mosquito control program. APM holds open house events for residents at the request of the city council. These events introduce the personnel assigned to service the area, an overview and demonstration of equipment used and information on
materials used to provide mosquito control. - Information (sample labels & SDS) on insecticides used in program are available upon request by calling APM at (989) 426-2420 and are available at the Standish City offices as well as APM’s website.
