June Mosquito Spraying Schedule

Vector Control is actively working to manage mosquito populations across the city of Corpus Christi.

By conducting regular maintenance and targeting mosquito breeding grounds, particularly areas with standing water, they aim to significantly reduce the presence of mosquitoes and minimize the risk of mosquito-borne diseases.

Vector Control places larvicide tablets in stagnant water areas in the afternoon and then sprays for adult mosquitoes in the evening. If the mosquito population remains elevated, the City will continue these efforts.

**These schedules are tentative and subject to change due to weather conditions and wind speeds.

City staff is monitoring the forecast daily and will continue to spray for mosquitoes throughout the city when the weather conditions are favorable.

Below is the schedule from Monday, June 23, to Friday, June 27. 

After any significant rainfall, the public must remember their role in the effective control of mosquitoes. Besides removing any standing water, yard maintenance is key as tall grass is a popular breeding area for many species of mosquitoes.

Vector Control is also asking for the public to practice the 5 D’s of Defense:

DEET – Use insect repellent containing DEET.
DRESS – Dress in long sleeves and pants when you’re outside.
DAWN, DAYTIME, and DUSK – Dawn, Daytime, and Dusk are the times of day when mosquitoes are most active. Avoid being outside during these times of day to prevent bites.
DRAIN – Regularly drain standing water, including water collected in empty cans, tires, buckets, clogged rain gutters, and saucers under potted plants. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water.
DOCTOR – Consult a physician if you feel sick after being bitten.

Don’t forget your pets! Dogs need limited time outdoors since they are susceptible to heartworms caused by mosquitoes. Please only use veterinarian-approved insect repellents on your furry friends.
