Please watch social media or check the City’s website for updates should there be a change in the spraying schedule due to weather.
All residents are encouraged to continue to follow the 4D’s of personal protection throughout the mosquito season regardless of surveillance results:

• Dusk to Dawn - stay indoors when mosquitos are active
• Drain - standing water in your yard where water might collect in places like flower pots, toys, clogged rain gutters and wading pools
• Dress - in light-colored long sleeves and pants
• DEET - apply repellant when outdoors

 Personal protection and elimination of breeding habitat are the best, most cost-effective means of mosquito control. Individual residents are the only ones who can ensure these steps are taken.
