Preventative monthly sprays are scheduled for the fourth Thursday of each month from May through September, between 9:30 and 11:30 p.m. (weather permitting). Additional ground sprays are typically added when a mosquito from a nearby trap tests positive for an arbovirus.
Residents are encouraged to subscribe to CodeRED alerts regarding scheduled and emergency ground sprays to be reminded to stay inside, along with their pets, during these sprays.
🦟 DEET is an ingredient to look for in your insect repellent. Follow label instructions, and always wear repellent when outdoors.
🦟 DRESS in long sleeves and pants when you're outside. For extra protection, you may want to spray thin clothing with repellent.
🦟 DRAIN standing water in your yard and neighborhood where mosquitoes can breed. This includes old tires, flowerpots, clogged rain gutters, etc. Mosquitoes may develop in any water that is left stagnant for more than three or four days. For shallow standing water that cannot be eliminated, check regularly for the presence of mosquito larvae and, if seen, apply a biological larvicide, which is often referred to as "mosquito dunks" available at local hardware stores.
