This week, Alameda County Mosquito Abatement District staff discovered multiple Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the Jensen and Windmill Springs neighborhoods of Livermore. After inspecting several properties in the area, District staff determined that using a truck-mounted ultra-low volume sprayer would be the most effective method to eliminate emerging mosquitoes. Weather permitting, residents in these neighborhoods can expect to see District vehicles on the roads on September 26 between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Visit www.mosquitoes.org for more information. This is an image of a map of the area in Livermore where spray will be used to address the presence of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes in the area. This is an image of a mosquito.
