The Richland County Vector Control Program
will soon begin spraying
for mosquitoes.
Residents are urged to do their part to keep the
flying, buzzing insects under control.
Here are a few preventive measures
to use as you inspect your yard:
- Empty,
overturn or remove water-holding containers.
- Use
EPA registered insect repellents that contain DEET, picaridin,
IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus according to the
instruction.
- Clear
drainage ditches of debris and weeds.
- Pack
tree holds with sand or cement.
- Clean
clogged roof gutters
- Stock
ornamental ponds with top-feeding minnows.
- Maintain
swimming pools properly.
- Change
the water in pet dishes, birdbaths and containers used to root
plants at least weekly.
- Put
a screen on rain barrels to prevent mosquitoes from accessing
the collected water.
Truck spraying in our area will usually be conducted
between midnight and dawn. Beekeepers and people allergic to the
products resmethrin or permethrin are urged to notify Vector
Control by calling the County's Ombudsman Office at 803-929-6000.
