Recent Aerial Larvicide Applications 

Once again, you might have noticed helicopters in action yesterday and today as they carried out their most recent spraying operations over the San Elijo and San Dieguito lagoons. These operations are part of the diligent work of the County Vector Control Program (VCP). There has been a noticeable increase in mosquito activity lately, due to factors such as warmer weather, higher tides and standing water left by Tropical Storm Hilary. To address this issue, the VCP has taken action by using helicopters to apply mosquito larvicide in areas where manual treatment is difficult. Most importantly, these larvicides pose zero risk to humans, pets, plants, or wildlife.

Rainy Days Call for Mosquito Prevention

As the rain subsides, add a crucial task to your post-rain checklist: inspect and remove standing water. With many items collecting water over the weekend, please ensure that drains are clear of debris and please empty containers, potted plant trays, trash, or yard items holding water. Standing water can become an unsuspected mosquito breeding ground if left for too long. Since mosquitoes take about a week to mature from larvae to adults, remember to empty water weekly or use fine sand/gravel to deter them. Getting rid of mosquito-breeding sites is critical to lowering the number of mosquitoes in our community.

Upcoming Aerial Larvicide Application

Keep an eye on the skies as helicopters will be in action over the San Elijo and San Dieguito lagoons next week. The upcoming aerial mosquito larvicide application is scheduled for next Wednesday, August 30th, and Thursday, August 31st. This method is an essential part of the County Vector Control Program's commitment to protecting both community and environment in areas where manual treatment isn't feasible. The granular larvicides used acts specifically on mosquito larvae and will not harm people, pets, plants, or wildlife.
