Severe Mosquito Problem in Eagle area


Yesterday, Brian WIlbur, the Director of the County’s Weed, Pest and Mosquito abatement districts brought a severe mosquito problem to our attention. The area hardest hit is bordered, approximately, by State Street on the north, about a mile west of Linder Road on the west, Chinden on the south, and about a mile east of Eagle Road on the east. (These boundaries are from memory and I might be off a little but I’m at least close.)

The Mosquito Abatement District is taking strong measures to eradicate the problem, but we need your help. If you live in a gated community, please contact your HOA to make sure the county has an access code for the gate(s). If the County’s workers cannot get in, the area cannot be treated and the situation will continue.

We will be trying to treat the entire affected area Monday night but then need feedback from those of you who live in the area on Tuesday. We need to know if the mosquitoes are controlled in your area. The goal is to identify the exact sources (standing water) and treat or eliminate them. The County should have a special web page set up by Tuesday through which you should be able to report what is happening at your location. For additional information, you can also reach the Mosquito abatement folks at 577-4646.

Thank you for any assistance you are able to provide!
