Adult Mosquito Treatment Planned for June 24th
The District will perform adult mosquito spray treatments on June 24th.,
2022 to lower the mosquito population affecting recreational and residential
areas along the Santa Ana River in the City of Eastvale. The spray
application will be conducted between the hours of 3:00 am to 6:00 am at the
following locations: Granja Vista Wetlands, Eastvale Community Park, and the
Santa Ana River bike trail. Please see attached images for exact spray
route.
The District will be treating this area with Aqua-Reslin (EPA Reg.
432-796), which is approved for use in mosquito control by the US EPA. We
have been working hard to use Integrated Pest Management Practices in this
area, and the majority of our efforts focus on preventing mosquito breeding
and killing mosquito larvae before they become flying adults; However, after
surveying the mosquito populations present within these areas, we have
decided that adult mosquito control via truck mounted ground fogger is our
best means to control the current populations detected. Signs were posted on
June 22nd., 2022 within our treatment areas, and information regarding the
treatment will be posted on our website at www.northwestmvcd.org. If there
are any questions or concerns, please contact the District at 951-340-9792.
