Neighbors organizing against mosquitoes.
The more of us, the less of them.

Mosquito season on Capitol Hill has gotten bad, and we’re done complaining about it.
The Itty Bitty Mosquito Population Committee is a grassroots neighborhood effort focused on spray-free mosquito prevention and control. We started with a simple listserv post in March 2026 and heard back from over 1000 interested households in the first week! Turns out we’re not alone in our suffering…

Right now we are focused on getting BG-GAT traps broadly deployed across our neighborhoods at a deep discount. The more households that participate, the better the results.
Beyond traps, we are planning to map and treat catch basins and other standing water in public spaces, supporting native plant initiatives and building relationships with DC Health and other city agencies to make insecticide-free mosquito control more proactive across the district. There’s so much we can do!

We’re just getting started… and we’re figuring it out as we go!
