Background
Since its establishment in 1952, the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District (GLACVCD) has played a vital role in serving the Greater Los Angeles area, which includes 36 cities and unincorporated areas. In 2017, GLACVCD began offering contract vector control services to the City of Vernon (City), and on November 3, 2020, the City Council officially approved the City's annexation into GLACVCD.
GLACVCD is committed to safeguarding public health by tackling the challenges posed by various pests, such as mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and other vectors. The District primarily focuses on monitoring, managing, and mitigating the spread of these pests, which present significant risks to public health, safety, and overall quality of life.
A representative from the District will provide a presentation on GLACVCD’s services to City Council at the April 1, 2025 Council Meeting.
