7/23/2024: The Williams County Vector Control District (WCVCD) will be conducting ground adulticide treatments, after dusk, weather and conditions permitting on Tuesday, July 23 through Thursday, July 25, in City of Williston Blocks 8, 13, and 14, rural Williston near the south end of 130th Rd NW, and in Trenton. Residents are reminded to please stay at least 300 feet away from a Vector Control truck while it is fogging.
The WCVCD uses Zenivex E20 for adult mosquito control treatments (adulticides), which contains the active ingredient Etofenprox. Zenivex E20 is a product approved for use in residential areas by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
To avoid mosquito bites, residents are advised to take extra precautions when spending time outdoors during the hours of dusk to dawn. Wearing long sleeve tight knit shirts and long pants, limiting time outdoors during these times, and using a mosquito repellent such as DEET, Picardin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus are good actions to take to prevent bites. Residents can help prevent mosquito re-population by eliminating standing water on their property.
