The following individuals serve as unpaid District Trustees: 

Our mission is to protect the health and safety of the residents and taxpayers of Bannockburn, Riverwoods, Deerfield, Highland Park, and Highwood by reducing the risk of disease through science-based, ecologically sound mosquito control. 

 We accomplish this efficiently and effectively.  We have no employees, no pension costs, no facilities and no equipment.  We outsource all seasonally required services to our contractor, Clarke, the foremost mosquito environmental management firm.

2. Surveillance of 22 mosquito traps for targeted prevention and adult mosquito control

3. Aerial survey for stagnant and abandoned swinning pools

4. Larval control assistance to residents due to stagnant water on their property
