The purpose of this chapter is to protect the public health, safety and general welfare by:
(a) Preventing or controlling the spread of vector-borne disease;
(b) Averting the blighting effects which the presence of vector infestation causes in an affected neighborhood, including undermining the desirability of housing, causing a decline in property value and contributing to the image of an environmentally unfit area; and
