Fast Facts
Town Fogging Start Date Set
Beginning Wednesday July 2, 2008 regular town fogging will commence. Areas scheduled to be fogged include, Wheatland, Plumas Lake, Olivehurst, Linda, East Marysville, Tierra Buena, Live Oak, Sutter, Meridian and Robbins. Spraying will be performed with pickup mounted foggers on Wednesdays every week starting approximately at sunset and continuing up to 3 hours, weather permitting. The spraying program will be discontinued in the fall when there is a significant drop in the mosquito population. The District will be using a pyrethroid insecticide. This chemical is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency and applied according to label directions by the District´s trained and certified technicians. Although this chemical poses a low risk to human health, some people may prefer to avoid or minimize exposure by staying indoors, keeping their windows closed and turning off their swamp coolers during this spray time. You can learn more information by visiting the town fogging page.
