Fight the Bite (Mosquito Control)

Mosquito Spraying Guidelines

The city sprays for mosquitoes to reduce the potential spread of mosquito-borne diseases.

  • Mosquito spraying occurs on Friday nights (weather permitting) during the months of May through October.
  • Spraying will begin each evening at approximately 9 p.m. and continue until the entire city has been treated.

  • The mosquito spray area covers 70ft. to either side of the spraying truck for a total coverage width of 140ft.
  • When mosquito surveillance activities detect a higher than normal population of mosquitoes, spraying may be increased to twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays.

The City regularly uses an EPA - approved adulticide application called Kontrol 30-30.

Larvacide Treatments/Mosquito Trapping

Larvacide applications are routinely performed citywide in order to help eliminate mosquito breeding sites.

Biting Gnats!

Biting gnats are a nuisance insect that, primarily, is active during the day and is not a disease carrier. Therefore, adulticide spraying is not performed. Residents are advised to practice the Four D’s to aid in preventing exposure: Drain, Dusk & Dawn, Dress, and Deet.

Mosquito/Vector Borne Diseases:

Residents are encouraged to inform themselves and take preventative measures to protect themselves and loved ones.
