Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office | Sheriff Marlin N. Gusman

The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office has partnered with Operation Blessing and the New Orleans Mosquito & Termite Control Board. With the help of Operation Blessing, the Sheriff's Office was able to revive the Aquaculture Program to raise mosquito larvae-eating fish which the Termite & Mosquito Control Board utilizes to combat the insects and avert any potential health risks. The agency is targeting unattended swimming pools at storm-damaged homes. If you know of a pool or other stagnant water which needs attention, please contact the New Orleans Mosquito Control Board at 504-658-2400.
