What: Larval mosquito treatment Where: Western Placer County agricultural areas When: June 14 & 15
The agricultural areas, rice fields and marshes of western Placer County are scheduled for an aerial larvicide treatment. Larval treatments involve an EPA-registered biorational mosquito larvicide applied by a low-flying aircraft in an effort to prevent the emergence of adult mosquitoes and reduce the risk of mosquito-transmitted diseases. Treatments will occur during the daylight hours, most commonly in the early morning through the early afternoon.
