Spraying is scheduled to take place in areas bordered by the following streets.

Site 12

The city’s environmental quality division is also surveying areas around the traps to determine what other steps can be taken to reduce mosquito habitats.

Residents are asked to ensure all children and pets are indoors during the spraying, which begins at 9 p.m.
