Canyon County Prepares for Mosquito Spray | Boise News

Canyon County is launching a major aerial spray this Sunday night to combat soaring mosquito populations carrying West Nile virus, targeting over 46,000 acres across several towns. With the first human case confirmed this year and one patient hospitalized, officials are acting fast — using a twin-engine plane between 8 PM and midnight (or Monday if weather doesn’t cooperate). Residents in affected zones don’t need to panic: the approved insecticide is safe for homes and farms. Still, everyone’s urged to help by eliminating standing water, wearing long sleeves, and using bug spray. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
