Mosquito Management Plan
The Swan Coastal Plain with its coastal
marsh lands like the Leschenault Inlet have the potential to be
mosquito breeding grounds, currently the mosquitoes in the area
are well controlled by the Shire of Harvey in an organization
known as CLAG.
Given this we still all need to do
our best to make sure that we do not create environments where
the mosquitoes can reproduce and become a pest.
The following is a resource of information
that can be used by the individual to ensure that the risk of
mosquito borne disease is minimized.
