Vector Control Adulticiding Notification
Evansville, August 20, 2012 – The Vanderburgh County Health Department is continuing to perform Adult Mosquito Control (Adulticiding). Adulticiding operations will begin Wednesday, August 22, 2012, weather permitting, in targeted areas of the City of Evansville. Fogging will begin approximately at 8:00 PM and conclude by 12:00 AM.
Area #1 is bound by Covert Ave, Vann Ave, Pollack Ave, and S. Weinbach Ave. Area #2 is bound by the West Lloyd Expwy, S. Tekoppel Ave, Broadway Ave, Middle Mount Vernon Rd, and S. Boehne Camp Rd. A map of the areas to be sprayed is included with this release.
If weather conditions prevent spraying on Wednesday, August 22, the Health Department will spray on the next available day.
The Health Department urges you to follow these simple guidelines to reduce your chances of coming into contact with mosquitoes:
-
When outdoors, especially near dusk and dawn, use insect repellant. Be sure to read and follow the label directions when applying these products.
-
Make sure screens on doors, windows, and porches are in good repair to prevent mosquitoes from getting inside.
-
Reduce breeding habitats by emptying buckets, removing discarded tires, and changing the water in wading pools and bird baths once a week.
-
Keep the grass cut and landscaping trimmed as adult mosquitoes use overgrown areas as safe places to rest.
