Mosquito Control Spray Schedule | City of Corpus Christi

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX – Vector Control is nearing the end of mosquito season. Towards the end of the year, Vector Control reduces its spraying activities and applies larvicide to any remaining standing or stagnant water. This proactive measure prevents remaining mosquito larvae from maturing into adult mosquitoes.

Vector Control will continue to monitor the mosquito population and administer adult mosquito spraying as needed.

Below is the schedule from Monday, October 28th to Friday, November 1st.

The route plan may change due to poor weather conditions and increased wind speeds. View the mosquito spray route map below.

The Vector Control program reminds the public to protect themselves and help care for their property by ensuring grass and shrubs are properly trimmed. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Therefore, help reduce mosquito breeding grounds by draining standing water, including water that collects in empty cans, tires, buckets, clogged gutters and saucers under potted plants.

larvicide, Control of mosquito larvae before they become adults occurs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m

The Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District recommends compliance with the 5 Ds of defense:
