The Regional District of the Central Okanagan is set to begin its second round of catch basin mosquito control in many Central Okanagan neighbourhoods next week.

The forecast is calling for clear and hot temperatures, if that holds steady, spraying will begin Monday, July 25 and proceed through Friday, July 29th.

Watch for Regional District Mosquito Control program crew members wearing high visibility vests who will be driving scooters or vehicles with Mosquito Control signage and dropping water-soluble pouches containing an environmentally approved mosquito larvicide into the roadside catch basins.

Approximately 12,000 roadside catch basins will be treated as part of the RDCO Mosquito Control program following up on treatments that were also done last month.

The Regional District provides nuisance mosquito control services in the City of Kelowna, District of Lake Country, District of Peachland, Westbank First Nation, the Sunset Ranch community in the Central Okanagan East Electoral Area and a small section of West Kelowna Estates in the City of West Kelowna.
