SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2015 HERMISTONHERALD.COM • A7 COMMUNITY Mosquito spraying season has begun West Umatilla Mosquito Con- trol District has started spraying to control the insects through October. The district provides mosquito abatement over 525 square miles of western Umatilla County including the cities of Hermiston, Umatilla, 6WDQ¿HOGDQG(FKR The district will target areas of standing and stagnant water where mosquito larvae thrive. Large water bodies will be sprayed with a heli- copter while smaller areas will be treated by truck mounted sprayers or by hand. To control adult mosquitoes, the district uses truck-mounted ultra-low-volume foggers. This spraying will be done after sunset in areas that have large populations of adult mosquitoes. In rural areas, aerial spraying to control adult mosquitoes will take place when mosquito trap collections indicate the need for large scale spraying. Aerial spraying for adult mosqui- toes will be done in the early eve- ning hours just after sunset. If for any reason residents do not wish to have their properties sprayed, please call the mosquito control hotline at 541-567-5201 and ask to be placed on the no- spray list. This number is also available for any questions regard- ing the district’s mosquito control program, or visit the district’s web page at www.wumcd.org. The district urges homeowners to take steps to eliminate mosquito breeding around their homes and properties.
