The Madison Parks Department is conducting mosquito control spraying to help reduce the mosquito population throughout the community.

We conduct mosquito spraying at night when mosquitoes are most active, provided weather conditions are suitable. Spraying is postponed when temperatures are too cool, winds are too strong, or rain is expected.

When conditions allow, we spray throughout the entire community up to three nights per week. Applications are made according to the chemical manufacturer's recommendations, with wind direction and an approximate two-block drift pattern determining which streets are treated each night.

Please be assured that the city is doing everything possible to help residents enjoy summer activities with fewer mosquito-related concerns. In addition to spraying, we are removing or treating standing water on City-owned property and applying barrier treatments in City Park areas to reduce mosquito populations.

We encourage residents to help reduce mosquito populations by eliminating standing water on their property. Mosquitoes can breed in even small amounts of stagnant water, so regularly emptying or removing water-holding containers can make a significant difference.

If you have any questions, please contact the parks department at (605) 256-7515, option 5
