Due to an abundance of mosquitoes detected in our surveillance traps, an additional route in East Marysville has been added tonight, July 27, 2020, to our Monday night ground fogging. East Marysville will be fogged by ground Monday and Thursday evening this week. The Shanghai bend ground fog route will continue on its Monday evening spray schedule while the East Live Oak area will continue on a Monday and Thursday evenings route. These addidtional fog routes will continue until the risk of disease transmission or mosquito abundance has been reduced or eliminated. The work will be performed using truck mounted foggers equipped with an amber colored flashing light. Spraying will begin at sunset and last no longer than 3 hours. All treatments are dependent on appropriate weather conditions. Although these materials pose 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 window –mounted air conditioners, evaporative coolers and whole house fans when spraying is taking place in the immediate area. You can obtain additional information about spray operations by calling the District office at 674-5456 ext. 0 between the hours of 7 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday thru Friday.Â
