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).

On the afternoon of October 11, 2023, the city’s environmental services division was notified of the two mosquito traps that tested positive for West Nile virus. This is the ninth and tenth West Nile positive of the season, the fifth in Zone 1 and the first in Zone 9.
