The Nevada County Environmental Health Department Vector Control Program will be holding Mosquito Fish Giveaways at the Eric Rood Administrative Building, 950 Maidu Ave, Nevada City. All giveaways will be held from noon to 2 p.m. Drive-thru pick-ups only; please remain in your car. Containers will be provided to safely take the fish home.
This year’s dates will be May 6 and 20; June 3 and 17; and July 1.
The mosquito fish need to be delivered to your pond within two hours. The fish will eat mosquito larvae in ponds, watering troughs, birdbaths, and unused swimming pools. The fish are not native to California and preferably should be placed into ponds that cannot drain into the local creeks and streams. This can have negative impacts on the native ecosystem.
