Vector Control Schedules Ground Mosquito Spraying in Citrus Heights
Specialized truck fogging is scheduled during early morning hours to target invasive mosquito species in local neighborhoods.
Neighborhood areas in Citrus Heights are receiving targeted mosquito control applications after regional health specialists identified the presence of invasive insects. The Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District scheduled early morning truck fogging to manage adult mosquito counts in residential pockets.
The treatments focus on containing Aedes aegypti, an invasive daytime-biting mosquito that breeds readily in small containers of backyard water and poses potential public health concerns. Ground fogging allows technicians to reach street corridors where standing water collects in roadside landscaping and drainage systems.
District representatives emphasize that the materials used are evaluated by environmental safety agencies and applied in ultra-low volumes. Residents who prefer to minimize outdoor exposure during operations are advised to stay indoors with windows shut during early morning application windows.
