Assistant Village administrator Bryan Lloyd provided the following information on application. Mosquito spraying will be done on Wednesday evenings, weather permitting (above 50* and not raining). During long dry periods, the Village may take weeks off depending on mosquito population. Spraying occurs on Thursdays when conditions don't allow application the previous night.
