Mosquito Thresholds Reached, Laramie To Begin Fogging Operations

Summer is officially here and so are the mosquitoes! Daily mosquito surveillance thresholds  around Laramie have reached their limits within mosquito traps. Now that the limit has been reached the city of Laramie will be conducting adult fogging operations to control mosquito populations.

Weather permitting, the fogging operations will begin tonight (June 21st) to control nuisance mosquitoes in and around Laramie. Applications will take place within the city Sunday through Thursday nights at 9pm to 4am.

The fogging applications will continue until mosquito threshold levels reduce. Daily mosquito control application schedules can be found on the mosquito control and integrated pest management hotline at 307-721-5056.
