Highway Commissioner Picarella calls this spraying for mosquitos, “another service the Road and Bridge District provides to the residents of Edwardsville Township.” Furthermore he states, “The applications are spaced to prevent the development of new mosquito larvae and control the nuisance of an active mosquito population.”
Residents are reminded that while these sprayings can help in controlling the mosquito population, individuals should continue to take precautions to protect themselves, such as applying insect repellent and checking their property for pools of stagnant water.
