    We have an abundants of mosquitofish.  Please stop by the office and pick some up, even if you have stopped by already this year.

    Mosquitofish are free to Jackson County residents and are a great biological control for mosquito larvae and pupae, particularly in small water sources like garden ponds, fountains, and water troughs.

    Our office hours Monday-Thursday from 8am-4pm.

    • Can inhabit shallow waters and penetrate dense vegetation growth where larvae and pupae hide.
    • Survive in a wide range of environmental conditions, such as temperature changes, organic pollution, and poor food supply.
    • Easy to maintain.
