Objective According to the analysis of the strategies, measures and achievements of the vector control in old communities in Haidian district, to provide experiences and models for large-scale vector control activities in the future. Methods According to the sanitary condition in the old communities, integrative control measures were implemented. Based on the environmental management, proper chemical controls were conducted in different environments, such as space spraying, residual spraying and so on. The effect was evaluated by density estimation. Results The control was conducted in 124 communities. Compared with the same period of the previous year, mosquito density decreased by 95.03% and house fly density decreased by 91.53%. Conclusion A new vector prevention and control was achieved during this activity, which effectively mitigated the impact caused by vectors in such communities. The efficacy meets the national standard. In addition, these achievements attracted the attention, support as well as welcome from the general publics.
