Mosquito Abatement
District-Davis (MAD-D)
|
|
|
|
The Mosquito Abatement District-Davis is a public agency serving
the communities of Davis County. They are responsible for
mosquito control and prevention. They act as an information
resource on mosquitoes, insect identification, and associated
disease transmission.
The Mosquito Abatement District-Davis (MAD-D) started its
mosquito control program in 1951 under the direction of the
Health Department. Two employees were hired to conduct the spray
program. The District equipment consisted of two backpack
sprayers and transportation was one horse and a motorcycle. The
MAD-D was formed as a special service district in 1953. The
MAD-D has grown considerably since its beginning with many
changes yet to take place to meet increasing demands in mosquito
control.
Most of us see mosquito control as the “fogging truck” that
drives through neighborhoods at night spraying for adult
mosquitoes. This service is about 25% - 30% of what MAD-D does.
The majority of their work takes place on the wetlands spraying
for mosquito larvae in the water using hand sprayers, bicycles,
ATVs, airplanes, and drones.

Teen Centers for At-Risk
Students
|
|
|
|
|
Davis Education Foundation is the nonprofit fundraising arm
of the Davis School District. The Foundation was recently
awarded the Best of State Statue Award for the category of
Community Development in their efforts in raising awareness
of students experiencing homelessness. Most prevalent in
their work has been the building of teen resource centers in
high schools throughout Davis County.
There are more than 1,200 children classified as homeless in
Davis School District. The Davis Education Foundation is
removing barriers for these students by providing them with
a safe place to shower, do laundry, study, and access
resources. The first teen center has been open at Clearfield
High for more than a year now. During the school year, 50-60
students stop in each week. Five more centers will open by
the start of the new school year at Woods Cross, Layton,
Northridge, Mountain High, and the Renaissance Academy.
Construction for three additional centers is planned for
Syracuse, Bountiful, and Viewmont in the upcoming school
year.
The Foundation created a video titled “Give Hope” to help the
community become aware of experiences some homeless teens
might be going through. The video was based on real stories
and experiences of homeless students the Foundation
previously worked with.
