Please be advised that the City of Geneva, utilizing the services
of Clarke, will be implementing a citywide application of
insecticide during the period from dusk to dawn,
Sunday, August 15, 2010.
The City and Clarke utilize a synthetic
pyrethroid named ANVIL for purposes of controlling the adult
mosquito population. ANVIL is safe to humans if applied in strict
conformance with the product labeling. Those individuals with
asthma and other respiratory conditions are advised to stay
indoors with windows closed during and at least 1 hour
following the misting application. ANVIL is applied by Ultra Low
Volume (ULV) misting equipment that accurately controls the
size of the droplets (50 microns) and the application rates (0.21
to 0.62 of an ounce of ANVIL per acre).
The only conditions that will cause a re-scheduling of the ULV
application are the presence of precipitation, high winds or
temperatures at the time of application below 55 degrees F.
Should a re-scheduling of the ULV application be required,
please check the City of Geneva Web Page for current status.
