The Santa Clara County Vector Control District is scheduled to spray the Palo Alto flood basin to combat aedes squamiger mosquitoes, which can travel up to 20 miles. Treatment will commence on Thursday at 7:30 a.m. using natural microbes and hormone regulators to prevent immature mosquitoes from reaching adulthood. The initiative comes in response to areas of standing water created by recent rains, which pose a breeding ground for the mosquitoes. The operation is crucial for reducing the local mosquito population, protecting neighboring areas from potential pest issues, while ensuring safety measures for the public during the spray.
The Santa Clara County Vector Control District plans to spray the Palo Alto flood basin to control an aggressive mosquito species, preventing them from spreading.
District Manager Dr. Nayer Zahiri emphasized that without intervention, larvae in the marsh would mature into adult mosquitoes, increasing the pain of local bites.
