Wheaton, IL – Residents in Wheaton and neighboring communities can expect mosquito spraying this Thursday, August 7, as part of ongoing efforts to manage local mosquito populations.
According to the City of Wheaton Government, the Wheaton Mosquito Abatement District will conduct mosquito spraying operations, weather permitting, with crews applying treatments from dusk until 2 a.m. The District recommends that residents seeking notifications of future mosquito spraying events sign up for phone alerts by calling 1-800-942-2555.
The Wheaton Mosquito Abatement District operates independently from the City of Wheaton and covers a 23-square-mile area, including most of Wheaton and parts of Carol Stream, Glendale Heights, and unincorporated Milton Township. The mosquito control program is managed by Clarke, a local service contractor, and residents with questions or comments about spraying can contact Clarke directly at www.clarke.com or by calling their mosquito hotline at 1-800-942-2555.
Applications for mosquito control are typically made in the late evening to early morning hours to minimize disruption and maximize effectiveness. City officials urge residents to remain indoors during the application period and to close windows as an added precaution.
Additional information about the mosquito abatement schedule and safety tips can be found on the City of Wheaton’s official website.
