Eliminating Disease-Carrying Pests and Restoring Enjoyment of the Great Outdoors

Executive Order 14433 directs federal agencies to develop and deploy new approaches for reducing disease-carrying tick and mosquito populations while advancing prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of vector-borne illnesses. The order emphasizes smart land-management practices, natural predators, non-chemical controls, sterile insect techniques, and biotechnology-enabled pest-control tools.

A major component is a Washington, DC, campaign aimed at reducing invasive mosquito populations by 90 percent and tick populations by 50 percent by 2028. The order also directs agencies to develop a regulatory framework for advanced pest-control technologies, accelerate safe and effective new products, expand research into diagnostics, prophylactics, therapeutics, and immunotherapies, and explore labeling options for products containing significant amounts of alpha-galactose.
