Most mosquito control in Mississippi involves spraying by municipal workers who perform this duty part time. City public works employees may work on streets or sidewalks during the day and drive mosquito spray trucks at night.

In order to educate and train these municipal mosquito control personnel, the Mississippi Department of Health helps sponsor the 'Mosquito Control Workshop' each year. The target audience for the mosquito control workshop is anyone with mosquito control duties in the State of Mississippi.

Attendance has generally been about 100 each year. This workshop has raised awareness of the importance of proper mosquito control, pesticide use, and mosquito-borne diseases in Mississippi.
