MOSQUITO SPRAYING ALERT

-
 

Dear Friends,

I wanted to be sure you received the following information:

-

Recent rains have given us a good dose of mosquito activity. The spray helicopter is anticipated to go up on Wednesday night or the first favorable weather window thereafter. It will likely be necessary to make a second aerial spray two-three weeks after this initial spray.
-
As a reminder, mosquito spray creates a very fine mist, the droplets of which must actually come in contact with an adult mosquito to be effective. The chemical is very specific to mosquitoes and does not affect other flying insects.
-
The spray is not harmful to people or pets. That said, some individuals are very sensitive to any material suspended in the air. We keep a registry of those individuals and we notify them in advance of spraying so that they can remain indoors the night of the aerial spray.

-

Please advise your family and friends that may not receive this notice

 Regards,

-
