History of the IMVCA
Mosquito breeding habitat near Ft. Hall
The IMVCA was founded in April 2005 after the Idaho State Department of Agriculture and the State Health Department sponsored a mosquito control workshop at the Hampton Inn in Nampa, ID. Our founding Board Members were Jack Bennett (President), Jason Kinley (Vice President), and Ed Burnett as Secretary and two at large Board Members: Kim Knerl and Mel Lee.
Since that time, the IMVCA has continued to grow its membership and expertise, and has become a well respected organization within the mosquito and vector control industry. Current membership stands at over 100 with the welcome support of 18 sustaining businesses. The IMVCA's spring and fall conferences and workshops have been fortunate enough to bring in some of the industry's leading experts in areas such as mosquito control, entomology, pesticide application, legal and political issues, West Nile Virus, and other vector-borne diseases. Members stay in close contact with each other and often rely on each other for advice and assistance. The IMVCA is very proud of its accomplishments to date, and looks forward to continuing its commitment to excellence in mosquito and vector control within Idaho.
