Rio Linda, CA – Due to the presence of West Nile virus-positive mosquitoes and high adult mosquito counts, parts of West Placer County will undergo an aerial adulticide treatment tonight, Wednesday, September 4th, between 7:30 PM and 12 AM.
An EPA-registered mosquito adulticide will be applied in an ultra-low volume fog by aircraft to target adult mosquitoes and reduce the risk of West Nile virus transmission to people.
Important Considerations:
- Weather Conditions: Wind speed and direction are crucial factors for effective and safe application. The contractor will adjust the flight path accordingly.
- Aircraft and Technology: Specialized systems are used to measure wind conditions and ensure accurate delivery of the adulticide.
Affected Areas:
- West Placer
- Westpark
- Westbrook
- Fiddyment
