Abstract: Public communication plays a key role in mosquito control programs across the country. From in person community outreach events to online messaging, many mosquito control programs are utilizing social media to communicate with their constituents on mosquito control activities. In New Jersey, the New Jersey Mosquito Control Association (NJMCA) communicates with residents via online social media platforms as well as through in person outreach events. Our online social media pages share information on mosquitoes, mosquito control, and pertinent information to our membership all in the form of images and videos. Additionally, we also promote and encourage attendance at outreach events, whether attended by NJMCA or local mosquito control county programs. The NJMCA online platforms continue to follow the same mission and objectives as the NJMCA, “promote and encourage close cooperation among those directly and indirectly concerned with, or interested in, mosquito control and the related work…”. This presentation will be an overview of the NJMCA social media pages, content, and highlight of our successes.
