Mosquito Spraying in Pasadena – Protect Yourself!
Mosquito season is in full swing, and officials are taking action to control populations and reduce disease risks in the Pasadena area. Brace yourself for some late-night spraying!
The Battle Plan
Over the next two days, insect control trucks will be hitting the streets between midnight and 5 a.m. Their target? Swarming mosquito hordes carrying potential illnesses like the dreaded West Nile virus.
The spraying zone covers the area between the Foothill (210) Freeway and Arroyo Seco to the north, stretching from Everts to Hammond Street. This offensive is being coordinated by the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District.
Dual-Threat Assault
These aren’t your average pest control trucks – they’re packing a powerful one-two punch. Ultra-low-volume adulticide mists will take down mature mosquitoes on the wing, while larvicide applications go after the next generation before they can even hatch.
According to District expert Tristan Hallum, current mosquito levels are a whopping four times higher than usual. With such swarming numbers, the risk of mosquito-borne diseases skyrockets. This coordinated strike aims to decimate those buzzing populations and protect public health.
Joining the Home Front
But the battle doesn’t end there! The District needs your help to win the war against these disease vectors. Eliminate any standing water around your home – that includes clogged gutters, pet dishes, birdbaths, and anything else that can breed mosquito larvae.
Maintain your pools and ponds properly, and don’t let any neglected swimming areas become mosquito motels. A few simple steps can make your yard inhospitable to these winged pests.
When venturing outdoors, suit up with EPA-approved repellents, lightweight long sleeves, and pants. With some basic precautions, you can enjoy the outdoors without becoming a mosquito’s next meal.
So stay vigilant, Pasadena! Together we can fight the bite and keep mosquito-borne illnesses at bay this season.
