Carson City Health and Human Services will conduct mosquito abatement treatments via drone on Monday, June 22.Â
The operations will target the Anderson/Buzzy Ranch, River View Park, Linear Ditch, Mexican Ditch, and ponds east of Interstate 80.
CCHHS is urging residents to follow this weekly checklist to protect your property from mosquitos:
• Dump standing water from buckets, tires, toys, and plant saucers.
• Refresh water in birdbaths and pet bowls regularly.
• Clean gutters and drains to improve drainage and prevent clogs.
• Maintain pools and check for water collection on covers or tarps.
You're also advised to take the following precautions when outdoors:Â
• Use EPA-registered repellents.
• Dress for protection: Wear long sleeves and pants.
• Ensure window and door screens are intact and functional.
• Avoid outdoor activity during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.
To report mosquito-related activity, submit a report on the CCHHS website.Â
