Impounded-any body of water formed by the construction or excavation of a basin or the obstruction of surface water run-off in such a manner as to cause the collection of a body of water which could not have formed under natural conditions. Such impounded waters of less than 2 acres of water surface, are not included in this definition, except that in the event an outbreak of disease known or suspected to be transmissible by mosquitoes occurs in the vicinity of such a pond, the state health officer may require that it be subject to the same regulations as larger bodies of impounded water.
Integrated Pest Management-integrated pest management as applied to mosquito prevention and control includes a combination of procedures such as exclusion, naturalistic control, source reduction, and the application of pesticides.
Naturalistic-naturalistic control involves the use of predators, pathogens (diseases), and other natural antagonists of mosquitoes.
