Mosquito Spraying in Evanston tonight

Submitted by jeffpsmith on Mon, 07/09/2012 - 17:03

The North Shore Mosquito Abatement District will be conducting adult mosquito control spraying in what appears, according to the District's map, all of Evanston tonight, Monday, July 9, between 8:00 pm and 2:00 am, "weather permitting."  Somewhat more information is available on the NSMAD website. However, no explanation of why there is spraying for mosquitos amidst drought conditions when most soil and yards are dry as a bone. :|

Following the above post I saw a few articles indicating that a few specimens of mosquito carrying West Nile virus had been found. Some said that the West Nile carrying varieties do better in drier weather than some other types of mosquitos.
