Mosquito Mitigation
The Town of Erie contracts with Vector Disease Control International (VDCI) to provide the Town with mosquito management: larval (water treatments), Adult mosquito surveillance and trapping, and fogging.
Mitigation efforts have resumed for the 2022 season. Fogging is conducted after dusk on Thursday evenings, with occasional delays due to holidays and weather.
Fogging will be attempted, Thursday, August 18, 2022, in these neighborhoods:
- Erie Village/Kenosha Estates/Kenosha Farms
- Reliance park to Erie Parkway Trail
- Vista Pointe
- Canyon Creek/Sunwest/Canyon Creek South
- Arapahoe Ridge
Public health officials encourage residents to take necessary precautions to protect themselves and follow the 4Ds of mosquito mitigation.
