PLEASE NOTE: The District has submitted Legislation to revise its Charter and commence mosquito spraying once again. Passage of the revised Charter will allow us to offer this previously described service to all of our residents:
The Spring Lake Improvement District maintains and operates a Mosquito Control Program within areas of the District. We provide the following services:
- Larvicide control of all storm drains within the District by using special chemical pellets.
- Grassy swales and ditches are chemically sprayed for Mosquito larvae.
- A truck specially equipped with "Micro Gen" equipment generates a fog of spray that drifts across the roads and properties that the truck travels through. The fog kills adult mosquito's on contact, or within a short period of time. The spray that is emitted is not harmful to humans or animals; only mosquitoes.
- The District sprays for Mosquitoes at dusk, when they are most active.
- All residents of Spring Lake are charged for mosquito spraying with an assessment that is included on the monthly water bill.
- Pursuant to state law there can be no set schedule for mosquito spraying due to the chemicals used; it is a complaint driven service. Call the District office at 655-1715 to request mosquito spraying for your area.
