The Vanderburgh County Health Department is continuing to perform Adult Mosquito Control (Adulticiding).
Adulticiding operations will begin Monday, August 5, 2013, weather permitting, in targeted areas of the City of Evansville.
Fogging will begin approximately at 8:00 PM and conclude by 12:00 AM.
The spraying will be within an area bound by Read St., Diamond Ave., Stringtown Rd., Enlow Ave., and West Morgan Ave.
A map of the areas to be sprayed is included with this release.
If weather conditions prevent spraying on Monday, August 5, the Health Department will spray on the next available day.
The Health Department is asking residents to:
 Limit time outdoors between dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active. Wear light colored clothing, pants, and long sleeves when possible.
 Use insect repellant containing DEET, Picaridin, or Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus. (Products containing DEET should not be used on infants aged <2 months of age and those containing Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus should not be used on infants <3 years of age); and
 Make sure your property is free of any standing water, which could be breeding grounds for mosquitoes that carry the virus. Empty flowerpots, buckets, old tires, trash cans, and clogged gutters. Keep the grass cut and landscaping trimmed as adult mosquitoes use overgrown areas as safe places to rest.
