Abstract: Public education has long been an essential facet of Integrated Mosquito Management. The purpose of public education is to assist the community in understanding its role and responsibility towards local mosquito abatement efforts. Within the near 100-year documented history of American mosquito control, practically every form of visual media has been incorporated at this point. In the best interest of furthering such efforts, any media created by mosquito control should strive to garner the most community engagement. One, often unprioritized method to increase community engagement from public education is to consider the visual accessibility of its media. Therefore, this presentation will highlight challenges faced by media consumers and ways to mitigated them.
