Town of Firestone
2020 Mosquito Control

The Town of Firestone’s Public Works Department will provide the Town’s mosquito surveillance and control activities for the 2020 season. Mosquito traps are set in strategic locations throughout Town to determine mosquito type and population.  Based on this information, Town staff will spray adulticides and larvicides as needed. 

Mosquito Control Schedule

The Town generally sprays between 8:30 - 10:00 p.m. on Mondays and Thursdays (weather permitting) at the height of mosquito activity, in order to eliminate a larger population of mosquitos.  View the schedule here. 

Which Chemicals are Used for Spraying?

• Mosquito Adulticides: Anvil 2 + 2 ULV, Biomist 3 + 15 ULV

• Mosquito Larvicides: VectoBac CG, Altosid XR, VectoLex CG
