Three Rivers Mosquito and Vector Control

At TRMVC, we specialize in mosquitoes and other pests that pose potential health risks to our communities. We specialize and are experts in mosquito control.

Three Rivers Mosquito and Vector Control is more than a pest control company that offers mosquito control services. TRMVC is a Central Oregon based business and provides services ranging from feasibility studies and reports for the establishment of vector control programs to evaluations and recommendations for existing programs. We provide training, support and materials for in-house programs as w

ell as providing tailored, full-service control programs. Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs provide you one-stop, full-service management that maximizes your control over mosquitoes and other flying nuisances. Our professional staff develops and tailors programs based on your specific habitats, environmental sensitivities, and budget. Because TRMVC offers the widest variety of application methods, and utilizes the most innovative technologies to assess and monitor each program, we can achieve the right balance of efficacy with environmental responsibility. Plus we offer the industry's fastest scheduling and response time. No other company can service your needs better. TRMVC uses nationally accepted methods to control mosquito populations, including surveillance, source reduction, and the application of EPA-approved larvicides and adulticides for enhanced quality of life in any municipality. TRMVC bases its programs on sound science; routine inspections of treatment areas coupled with collections from surveillance traps enable us to determine the presence of West Nile Virus or other mosquito borne diseases, which mosquito species are present, their approximate population density, type of breeding habitats, and locations. TRMVC employs an IPM approach to scientifically and systematically design customized control programs for each municipality. Every program we design incorporates a combination of computer models, GIS mapping, weather monitoring, and least toxic and most effective biological and chemical controls. TRMVC combines this data with timely reporting to facilitate informed program decisions and critical public education assistance. Three Rivers Mosquito and Vector Control and the American Mosquito Control Association advocates management of mosquito populations when and where necessary by means of integrated programs designed to benefit or to have minimal adverse effects on people, wildlife, and the environment. This integrated pest management (IPM) policy recognizes that mosquito populations cannot always be eliminated but often must be suppressed to tolerable levels for the well-being of humans, domestic animals, and wild life and that selection of scientifically sound suppression methods must be based on consideration of what is ecologically and economically in the long-term best interest of mankind. The following principles are advocated:

•Mosquito control measures should be undertaken only when there is adequate justification based upon surveillance data.
•IPM programs should be tailored to the needs and requirements of the local situation. The combination of methods for mosquito control should be chosen after careful consideration of the efficacy, ecological effects, and costs versus benefits of the various options, including public education, legal action, natural and biological control, elimination of breeding sources, and insecticide applications.
•Mosquito breeding sources, whether natural or created by human activity should be altered in such a manner as to cause the least undesirable impact on the environment.
•Insecticides and application methods should be used in the most efficient and least hazardous manner, in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and available scientific data. The registered label requirements for insecticide should be followed. When choices are available among effective insecticides, those offering the least hazard to non-target organisms should be used. Insecticides should be chosen and used in a manner that will minimize the development of resistance in the mosquito population.
•Personnel involved in IPM programs should be properly trained and supervised, and certified in accordance with relevant laws and regulation, and should keep current with improvements in management techniques through continuing education and/or training programs. All methods and materials used by TRMVC are based on these principles outlined by the American Mosquito Control Association. The result? Municipalities have everything they need for mosquito control success. Our full service surveillance and control programs have proven tremendously successful at municipal, county, and state levels worldwide.

Hantavirus Awareness: Prevention Starts with Rodent Control

Recent news stories about Hantavirus can sound alarming, but the risk to the general public remains low — and prevention is very effective when proper vector control measures are followed.

Hantavirus is primarily spread through exposure to infected rodent droppings, urine, or nesting materials — especially in enclosed or undisturbed areas.

Simple Prevention Tips:
✅ Seal openings where rodents can enter homes, garages, sheds, and crawlspaces
✅ Store food and pet food in sealed containers
✅ Remove clutter and rodent harborage around structures
✅ Avoid sweeping dry rodent droppings — disinfect first with a bleach solution
✅ Use gloves and proper protection when cleaning contaminated areas
✅ Contact licensed pest professionals if rodent activity is found

At the end of the day, good sanitation, exclusion, and proactive rodent control dramatically reduce risk.

Stay informed — not alarmed. Prevention works.

“Your Pet = Tick Uber 🐶🚕” - Day 4
Pets can carry ticks straight into your home.

👉 You stayed on the trail… your dog did not.

And once ticks hitch a ride, they don’t just stop at pets—they’ll look for their next meal (you).

05/06/2026

“Meet the Local Culprits”-Day 3
In Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, common human-biting ticks include:

Western black-legged tick (Ixodes pacificus)
American dog tick
Rocky Mountain wood tick
Pacific Coast tick ()

👉 The western black-legged tick is the main one responsible for spreading Lyme disease here. ()

Lyme Disease is the disease most commonly known for the bullseye rash.

So yes—ticks are absolutely a local issue.

🌿 “Where Are Ticks Hanging Out (Now Including the NW)?” - Day 2
Ticks don’t jump or fly—they “quest” on grass and shrubs waiting for a host (PestWorld).

👉 Think of them as tiny, patient hitchhikers.

Here’s the concern: ticks are expanding their range into new areas—including the Pacific Northwest—because of warmer temperatures and changing environments. ()

That means places that didn’t used to worry about ticks… now do.

🕷️ Tick Awareness Week (May 4–10) – Day 1:
“Tiny… but Almost Mosquito-Level Trouble”

It’s Tick Awareness Week (May 4–10), and here’s something most people don’t realize: ticks are nearly as dangerous as mosquitoes when it comes to spreading disease. In fact, ticks are responsible for the majority of vector-borne illnesses in the U.S., according to public health data highlighted by NPMA and PestWorld.

👉 Mosquitoes get the reputation… ticks quietly do the damage.

Ticks can spread diseases like:

Lyme disease (most common in the U.S.)
Rocky Mountain spotted fever
Anaplasmosis
Tick-borne relapsing fever

And many people never even notice the bite.

05/02/2026

🕷️ Heads Up: Tick Awareness Week is Coming (May 4–10)!

Next week is Tick Awareness Week, and we’ll be sharing important (and yes, sometimes slightly unsettling) information about ticks all week long.

Why? Because ticks are more than just a nuisance—they’re one of the leading carriers of vector-borne diseases in the U.S., right up there with mosquitoes, according to NPMA and PestWorld.

👉 Translation: tiny pest, big public health impact.

Throughout the week, we’ll cover:

- Where ticks are found (including here in the Pacific Northwest)
- Common species and the diseases they can carry
- Simple ways to protect yourself, your family, and your pets
- A few facts that might make you check your socks twice

Stay tuned, stay curious, and maybe start mentally preparing for some tick checks. 👀

Awareness starts here—more to come next week. 🌿

Ever thought about a job where your office has no walls, your coworkers are…mosquitoes (briefly), and your soundtrack is whatever you want it to be? 🌙🚛

TRMVC is looking for a nighttime fog truck operator—and it might just be the most peaceful way to protect public health.

Picture this:
Sunset rolls in, the roads quiet down, and you head out on your route. It’s just you, the hum of the truck, and your favorite music or audiobook keeping you company while you help reduce disease-carrying mosquitoes in our community. Not a bad way to spend an evening.

The details:
• Fogging shifts typically run from sunset to around midnight(ish)
• Valid driver’s license required
• Pesticide license required (or willingness to obtain)

This role can be a great fit for:
• Someone looking for a post-retirement gig
• Teachers or others wanting seasonal/summer work
• Anyone interested in a meaningful side job with purpose

And who knows—what starts as a quiet evening job could turn into a full-time career in vector control and public health.

At TRMVC, we’re serious about protecting the community—but we also know a good job can be enjoyable, too.

If you like the idea of trading rush hour for peaceful night drives (and helping keep mosquitoes in check while you’re at it), we’d love to hear from you.

👉 Apply today and join the fight against vectors—one calm, foggy evening at a time.

Old, worn-out tires without rims might not look like a big deal—but they’re one of the perfect breeding spots for mosquitoes. When water collects inside them, each tire can produce thousands of mosquitoes, impacting not just your yard, but entire neighborhoods.

Mosquitoes aren’t just annoying—they can spread disease and make it difficult for everyone nearby to enjoy their outdoor spaces.

👉 The solution is simple:

- Get rid of old tires whenever possible
- Store them covered or dry if you must keep them
- Can’t remove them? Contact your local Vector Control agency—they can help treat problem areas

A single neglected tire can affect whole blocks. Let’s work together to keep our communities safer and mosquito-free.

As we head into summer, it’s worth remembering a vector we don’t hear about as often… ticks.

Not all tick species are found in our area, and not all carry disease—but some can transmit serious illnesses to both people and pets. Because of that, awareness and monitoring are important.

After spending time outdoors, it’s a good habit to:
• Check yourself, children, and pets for ticks
• Pay attention to areas like tall grass, brush, and wooded edges
• Keep yards maintained to reduce tick habitat

If you find a tick on a person, pet, or in your yard, don’t ignore it. Let us know. We are actively monitoring tick presence in our area and would like to collect samples when possible.

If you come across a tick, please call us so we can arrange to collect it and help track local activity.
