We are bringing in a helicopter to do a larvicide application east of the Sunridge Golf Course. Friday we will be doing a ground fogging event in the Sunridge subdivision east of 395, LaDiago and the golf course. These cool temperatures have been killing us as it has been too cold to adulticide and I am way behind schedule, but we will catch up as soon as we can. I am hoping for better temps next week as we are planning on bringing in a fixed wing aircraft for an aerial adulticide application of approximately 6,000 ac.
