The second mosquito fogging of the season will take place this week in Fredonia.

According to the city, an elevated mosquito population is prompting another spraying tomorrow. The application typically begins between 6 and 7 p.m., but timing adjustments may be necessary. The plan is to spray alleys on Thursdays and roadways on Tuesdays. The mosquito fogging kills adult mosquitoes in addition to gnats, bag worms and flies. Applied correctly, the treatment will not cause harm to humans or pets and serves as protection against mosquito-borne diseases. Residents can help manage mosquito populations in Fredonia by regularly inspecting their properties and eliminating standing water sources where mosquitoes may breed, such as in bird baths, flowerpots, wading pools, kid's toys and other receptacles. The city also asks residents to remain indoors during fogging and to not let children play behind fogging trucks. Fogging will continue through September.
