Mosquito Fogging Proceeding Overnight - July 30, 2026
Crews are moving ahead with fogging for nuisance mosquitoes overnight tonight, Thu, July 30, 2026.
Residents can take the following actions to minimize exposure during a fogging program:
- Whenever possible, stay indoors during and immediately after spraying;
- Close all windows and doors. Turn off air conditioning units and close vents to circulate indoor air, before the spraying begins;
- Bring laundry, toys, and pets indoors before the spraying occurs;
- Cover swimming pool surfaces when possible;
- Wash homegrown fruit and vegetables with water before cooking or eating them;
- Rinse play equipment with water after the spraying is finished.
Residents can also help reduce the impact of this year’s mosquito populations.
Simple things like dumping out any containers of standing water, draining any eavestroughing, covering rainwater collection containers; filling in any low-lying areas, or treating problem areas with biological larvicide can minimize the number of mosquitoes.
The annoyance of mosquitoes can also greatly be reduced by using repellants, wearing light-coloured clothing, limiting your time outside between the hours of dusk and dawn and using screened-in areas.
