URGENT UPDATE: Carson City Health and Human Services (CCHHS) is set to launch critical mosquito abatement treatments on the morning of July 23, 2025, targeting key areas including Anderson/Buzzy Ranch, River View Park, Linear Ditch, and ponds east of I-580. This proactive measure aims to combat the rising mosquito population and mitigate the threat of mosquito-borne diseases in the community.
According to a recent news release, the treatment will involve aerial spraying conducted by helicopter, focusing on standing water locations that serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes. “This is part of our ongoing effort to control mosquito populations and protect public health,” officials stated.
Residents are urged to take additional precautions to safeguard themselves against mosquito bites. Recommendations include applying insect repellent, removing any standing water around their properties, and ensuring that window and door screens are in good condition.
The health department emphasizes the importance of these treatments, especially as the warmer months approach, when mosquito activity typically surges. The risk of mosquito-borne illnesses, such as West Nile virus, becomes a critical concern for local residents.
For more information on mosquito prevention and community health resources, residents can visit the CCHHS website or contact them directly at 775-887-2190, extension 80029.
Stay informed and proactive as the treatment date approaches, and help protect yourself and your community from the dangers of mosquitoes.
