The MPRB's philosophy toward pest management is to use natural and least-harmful ways to reduce pest populations, in the best interests of our park visitors and the preservation of park resources. Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy does just that, by focusing on long-term prevention or suppression of pest problems with minimum impact on human health, the environment and non-target organisms.

Mosquitoes and other insects have an impact on the enjoyment of our parks. Metropolitan Mosquito Control district monitors and controls mosquito populations in the seven county metro area including Minneapolis. More information is available on their website www.mmcd.org or by calling 651-645-9149.

For more information about MPRB’s IPM strategies, contact Park Maintenance at 612-230-6400.
