About Mosquito Spraying

VDCI monitors mosquito populations throughout the community to help identify areas where mosquito-borne illnesses, such as West Nile virus, may be present. When mosquito populations reach established thresholds, truck-mounted spraying is used as part of an Integrated Mosquito Management program to reduce adult mosquito populations.

VDCI uses EPA-registered products and applies them only when needed, using data to ensure the appropriate amount is applied in the appropriate locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the mosquito treatment do?

The truck spray targets and kills flying adult mosquitoes, helping reduce mosquito populations. Larvicide treatments may also be used in breeding areas to prevent mosquito larvae from developing into adults.

When does spraying occur?

Spraying takes place on Mondays from dusk until dawn, when mosquitoes are most active. Treatments may be postponed due to rain or high winds.

Is the treatment safe?

When applied according to label directions, the products used are not expected to harm people, pets, wildlife, or the environment.

Do I need to stay indoors during spraying?

No. Residents do not need to leave the area during spraying. If you prefer, you may close your windows and remain indoors while treatment is taking place, but this is not required. If you experience any health concerns following treatment, contact your healthcare provider.
