Florida Public Records Law Notice

Under Florida law, e-mail addresses are public records. If you do not want your e-mail address released in response to a public records request, do not send electronic mail to this entity. Instead, contact this office by phone or in writing. (Pursuant to Section 668.6076, Florida Statutes).

1. Citizen Reporting Data Collection

When utilizing the Citizen Reporting Portal (to report standing water, abandoned tires, or dead birds), the LCMN collects geographical coordinates and site descriptions. Personal identification (name and phone number) is strictly optional.

Data Usage: This data is used exclusively to dispatch epidemiological survey teams, map localized vector outbreaks, and coordinate with the Florida Department of Health. We do not sell, lease, or distribute citizen reporting data to commercial pest control companies or third-party marketing agencies.

2. Environmental Regulatory Compliance

All public health advisories, source reduction guidelines, and spray reviews published by the LCMN Advisory Board are developed in strict compliance with the statutes set forth by:

• The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations regarding pesticide runoff and aquifer contamination.
• The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) guidelines for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
• The University of Florida IFAS Extension entomological recommendations for the protection of native Gulf Coast pollinators.

3. Declaration of Independence

The Levy County Mosquito Control Information Network is an independent informational organization. We hold no financial affiliations with chemical manufacturers, automated misting system installers, or private residential pest control services. Our sole directive is the facilitation of public health data and the preservation of the Suwannee River Basin ecosystem.
