Vector Control
Vector control is any method to reduce or eradicate the carriers of pathogens (e.g. virus or parasite), of which animals are the carriers. Pathogen carriers include mammals, birds or arthropods, mosquitoes, and other insects. For more information, call Bill Teitzel at 360-740-1261.
For all animal bites or exposures from an animal to a person, we recommend seeking medical attention and then filling out the Lewis County Animal Bite/Exposure Report and submitting to our office.
