To control the mosquito population in Greene County, the Public Health Department will apply adulticide around July 1-3 in the following areas:

-Rotary Park (Beavercreek)

-Phillips Park (Beavercreek)

-Community Park (Fairborn)

For proper application there must be little to no wind, and no rain at all. The applications will take place before sundown running for approximately for 90 minutes, while the evening temperatures are above 60 degrees.

During applications, it is important that community members do not follow behind sprayers unless absolutely necessary, otherwise staying 200 feet behind the vehicle is best suggested. If you must follow, to limit exposure make sure windows are rolled up, and your air-conditioning is on.

If you would not like the area around your home to be treated contact Greene County Public Health at 937-374-5607 or email ehpermits@gcph.info with questions or if you need further information.
