1. An apparatus for controlling ingress and egress of disease transmitting insect species that are attracted to standing water disposed within a stormwater treatment and water storage system that includes a catch basin having a stormwater inlet, the apparatus including:
an automatic retractable screen including a plurality of vertical screening blades 46 that each move independently to block and prevent trash and debris from entering the stormwater inlet, the automatic retractable screen being movably connected to the catch basin for movement with respect thereto; and
a vector control screen comprising a planar body 50 spanning the stormwater inlet that is disposed behind the moving blades 46 and connected to said automatic retractable screen, the vector control screen 44 is movable between a first position adjacent to the automatic retractable screen 45 and a second position wherein part of the planer body 50 is spaced apart from the automatic retractable screen 45;
wherein, in the first position, insect species ingress and egress is blocked and when the vector control screen is in the second position, a flow of storm water through the storm water inlet is unimpeded.
