While the main focus of the District is larval control, we do have a program designed to reduce flying mosquito populations if they become too much of a nuisance or if there is a risk to public health. Prior to fogging (also known as ‘adulticiding’) in any particular area, we place a trap to verify the presence of a large adult mosquito population.

In addition to surveillance traps placed weekly, we have a number of traps that can be placed upon request. If it is determined that fogging is needed, we will proceed with fogging an area. We do two different types of fogging – by truck or by handheld sprayers for smaller specific areas like yards. As required by the label, We ALWAYS fog after sunset or before sunrise to avoid non-target insects and large crowds of people.
