The FVRD does not conduct fogging or spraying of chemicals that kill flying (adult) mosquitoes.

The public is reminded to take all the usual precautions around limiting mosquito bites and eliminating sources of standing water around their properties:

• Apply insect repellent containing DEET according to label instructions when outdoors.
• Wear shoes, socks and long-sleeved, light-coloured, loose-fitting shirts and pants when outdoors.
• Avoid mosquito-laden areas at dawn and dusk.
• Install tight-fitting screens on doors and windows.
• Eliminate or regularly change water in saucers under flower pots, in bird baths, old tires, pet dishes, gutters, pool covers, trampolines, tarps and other areas where rainwater may collect.
• Swimming pools should be properly maintained and chlorinated and wading pools should be emptied and turned over when not in use.
• Use fine mesh to cover rain barrels and containers that cannot be dumped.
