Vector Control will continue monitoring the mosquito population and implement adult mosquito spraying if necessary.  

Below is the schedule from Monday, November 4, to Tuesday, November 5.

Vector Control program reminds the public to keep themselves safe and help by caring for their property by ensuring grass and shrubs are properly trimmed. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so help reduce mosquito breeding grounds by draining any standing water, including water that collects in empty cans, tires, buckets, clogged rain gutters, and saucers under potted plants.

Larviciding, the control of mosquito larvae before they become adults, is conducted from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District recommends following the 5 Ds of Defense:

DEET – If you will be outside - use insect repellent containing DEET

DRESS – Dress in long sleeves and pants when you’re outside.

DAWN, DAYTIME, and DUSK—Mosquitoes are most active at dawn, daytime, and dusk. Avoid being outside during these times of the day.

DRAIN – Curb mosquito breeding areas by draining standing water.

DOCTOR – Consult your physician if you feel sick after being bitten.

Please call 311 to report abandoned property, high grass, or standing water.
