Mosquito Spraying Starts In Parts Of Orange County Tuesday

WESTMINSTER, CA — The Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District will conduct truck-mounted ultra-low volume adulticide treatment Tuesday through Thursday to address a surge of mosquitos and the risk of mosquito- borne disease in Garden Grove, Stanton, and Westminster.

The sprayings will happen from midnight to 5:30 a.m. within an area near the cross streets of Lampson and Western avenues, according to the district.

If numbers persist or disease is present, treatments may continue throughout the biting season.

According to the district, at the application rate the product will not harm:

— people or pets, even if present during the application;

— fruit trees, vegetable gardens, or fishponds; and

— bees, as the product is applied at a time when bees are not active.

There is no need to turn off air conditioning systems during the application, the district said.
