Mosquito Abatement
The Village continues an aggressive abatement program in an effort to control mosquitoes and the associated occurrence of West Nile Virus. Contracted monitoring and spraying is performed several times throughout the season.
The catch basin treatment program is performed under contract. Approximately 4,000 Village catch basins and water holding inlets are treated with Natular XLT 180-day briquettes, Altosid 150-day briquettes and/or Vextolex CG granules to control the species of mosquito that vectors West Nile Virus each year.
