On Wednesday, June 10, Carson City Health and Human Services (CCHHS) will conduct mosquito abatement treatments via drone starting at approximately 6:00 a.m. and ending at approximately 10:00 a.m. These operations will target the linear ditch near Arrowhead Drive and Apollo Drive.

Help Eliminate breeding grounds. Mosquitoes lay eggs in very small amounts of water. CCHHS urges residents to follow this Weekly Checklist to protect their home and the community:

  • Dump standing water from buckets, tires, toys, and plant saucers.
  • Refresh water in birdbaths and pet bowls.
  • Clean gutters and drains to improve drainage and prevent clogs.
  • Maintain pools and check for water collection on covers or tarps.

While CCHHS manages public areas, residents should take personal precautions when outdoors:

  • Use EPA-registered repellents: Look for active ingredients like DEET, Picaridin, IR3535, Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE), PMD, or 2-Undecanone.
  • Dress for protection: Wear long sleeves and pants.
  • Secure your home: Ensure window and door screens are intact and functional.
  • Timing matters: Avoid outdoor activity during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.

To report mosquito-related activity, please submit a complaint on our website https://www.gethealthycarsoncity.org/divisions/environmental-health/complaints-requests.
