The spraying will be performed in targeted subdivisions within the designated spray zones. In the event of rain or if wind speeds are above 10 miles per hour, the spraying may be rescheduled. This method of spraying targets flying mosquitoes that come in contact with the pesticide in the spray. These times have been chosen because they are the times that most mosquitoes are active (flying).

This marks the seventh, eighth, and ninth West Nile virus cases of the season, with the first case in Zone 23 and the second cases in both Zones 3 and 11.

Why doesn't the city spray everywhere for mosquitoes?
