On Wednesday, June 4 the Village of Bluffton resumed seasonal application of a chemical to reduce the mosquito population in the Village. A chemical called Duet Adulticide is used. This product has been used locally for about 10 years.
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.
Spraying takes place from about 9:00-midnight. The product is most effective while the mosquito population is active.
