On Friday, May 31, 2013, starting at approximately 2:00 PM, weather permitting, the Santa Cruz County Mosquito & Vector Control (MVC) will apply mosquito control granules by helicopter to 50 acres in and near Watsonville: within portions of Pinto Lake, Watsonville Slough, Atkinson Pond, Sunset State Beach pond, Harkins Slough and Struve Slough. The outcome of this treatment will be a reduction in the number of pestiferous mosquitoes that emerge from the shallows of those wetlands.
