Mosquito Fogging Set for Casa Grande on August 17-19 Pinal County Environmental Health Services announced today that adult mosquito fogging will be conducted in Casa Grande. Mosquitoes trapped during routine surveillance for West Nile virus tested positive, resulting in the need to fog the area to prevent transmission of the disease to humans.
**All fogging takes place between the hours of 10:00 PM and 5:00 AM because this is the time when the breed of mosquito that carries West Nile is most active. The pesticide that will be used during fogging is called Anvil. It is a pre-mixed, ready-to-use product that contains two active ingredients: Sumithrin (2%) and piperonyl butoxide (2%). Sumithrin is a man-made version of a natural pesticide found in chrysanthemum flowers. Piperonyl butoxide enhances the ability of Sumithrin to kill mosquitoes. Anvil is registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency and is effective against the mosquitoes that carry West Nile virus. There are several things that residents can do to reduce exposure during fogging:
West Nile virus is transmitted to humans and animals through the bite of an infected mosquito. West Nile virus can cause severe illness in people and horses, although not everyone who is infected will develop symptoms. People of all ages can be affected however; the elderly may be more prone to serious illness. County health officials urge all county residents to “Fight the Bite” and follow these simple personal precautions to avoid mosquitoes and the diseases they may carry:
The County has a mosquito hotline and information on the web. If you would like information on mosquito prevention and control, please call: 866-287-0209, ext. 6200, or visit the West Nile virus webpage at www.pinalcountyaz.gov/envhealth.
