Scheduled Dates for Adulticiding:
Adulticiding Schedule: Known as fogging, is a necessary aspect of an integrated mosquito management program. Adulticiding is used to reduce mosquito populations that have matured and are capable of flight (the larger percentage of Skamania County MCD’s program is larviciding, or controlling mosquitoes while in an immature stage in stagnant waters). While adulticiding can be an effective tool and generally provides a certain level of control in a timely manner, it is susceptible to a number of factors. Wind speed (too high), temperatures (too cold or too hot), access (being able to physically drive to areas where the mosquitoes are located) and timing (maximizing mosquito exposure while minimizing exposure to people, pets, etc) are all considerations that can affect the performance of adulticiding. Consequently, these and other factors may prevent us from performing an adulticiding event on any given date/night and in the location that we have listed below.
All adulticiding in the District limits that fall into the Skamania County Mosquito Control District’s jurisdiction are listed below. Control efforts are often performed in non-populated areas to help reduce mosquito populations before reaching people. These sites are not updated on the website.
The vast majority of adulticiding will be conducted after sunset, during nighttime hours and/or possibly early morning (around sunrise).
