We surveyed Arizona residents regarding their perceptions of mosquito management. Mosquitoes are a health hazard and residents manage their properties for them. Residents did not want increased authority involvement in private spaces. Residents agreed that public spaces attracting mosquitoes should be state managed. Citizens have internalized personal responsibility for this public health hazard.
