Facility Tour
We welcome students of any grade level to visit our mosquito control facility. A complete tour will last about 1 hour and it includes:
- PowerPoint Presentation
- Laboratory and Insectary Tour
- Shop and Airplane Hangar Tour
Students start out learning about the biology of the mosquito and then learn about mosquito control operations in Calcasieu Parish. Next we visit our lab and insectary. Then we're off to the shop and airplane hangar which is the favorite stop for most students.
