Due to increased mosquito activity north of the Salton Sea, the District has scheduled ultra-low volume (ULV) applications by helicopter to reduce the number of mosquitoes and threat of mosquito-borne disease transmission. The treatment area is bordered by Highway 111, Wheeler Street, Johnson Street, and north of the Salton Sea shoreline, excluding organic properties and fish farms. Applications are scheduled Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (May 2-4), and will take place sometime between 8 p.m. and midnight, weather permitting. Additional dates may be added if necessary and will be updated on the District Website. Signs have been posted along the route, informing residents of the control efforts.
