Geneva’s mosquito abatement contractor will be spraying an application of insecticide citywide this evening, July 25 to control the adult insect population.

Spraying is scheduled to take place from dusk to dawn starting July 25 into Wednesday, July 26.

Clarke Environmental will be using a synthetic treatment that is safe for humans and pets, although people with asthma and other respiratory conditions are advised to stay indoors with their windows closed during the misting application and one hour afterward.

The spraying will be rescheduled if rain or high winds enter the forecast, and an update would be posted on the City’s website at www.geneva.il.us.
