Is the City presently spraying for mosquitos? |
| A. |
The city sprays (adulticides) for mosquitos generally from mid March to late October. When the air temperature falls below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, mosquitos are no longer active. City personnel also apply chemicals (larvaeciding) to known breeding areas to kill the larvae or eggs which has proven to be a more effective means of combating mosquitos.
