For the third time this season, the city plans to treat for mosquitoes due to elevated larvae counts.
Clark Environmental Mosquito Management, a consultant to the city, will treat about 410 acres of public wetlands and floodlands starting at daybreak Friday and through the morning, weather permitting.
By helicopter Clark will apply a biolarvicide, VectoLex CG, which the city said is a natural occurring granular soil bacterium that poses no danger upon contact.
