 This study proposes an efficient method to identify swimming pools that could potentially serve as mosquito habitats. The method uses high resolution, multi-spectral imagery to detect surface water, and then combines this information with vector-based data layers to identify residential land parcels with detectable water. Of the 535 land parcels identified as containing surface water, 682 were known to contain swimming pools. This resulted in an accuracy rate of 78.4%, indicating that 19 of the 147 land parcels with swimming pools had backyards large enough to obscure the presence of a swimming pool from the satellite. The remaining 128 land parcels without surface water were likely to have sufficient water in their swimming pools to provide adequate habitat for mosquitoes, and thus field inspections should be conducted to ensure proper mosquito abatement.
