Mosquito Fogging

The Public Works Department has deployed a Clark Cougar Mosquito fogger to combat the little pests. This machine allows us to fog the entire village in just about 3 1⁄2 - 4 hours.

Even thought the actual fog is not harmful to individuals, we ask that you please keep your children away from the sprayer.

Residents can help control the mosquito population around your homes and property by:

•  Eliminating standing or stagnate water

•  Disposing of any tires, buckets, etc.

•  Keeping fresh water in birdbath

•  Cleaning our rain gutters

Any of these places are ideal for Mosquitos!!!

Please Note:

Mosquito fogging runs from June to September. Fogging takes place from 4am to 8am weather permitting and does not take place every week. More information about our mosquito repellent used can by seen by clicking on the KONTROL button.
