The Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District will be conducting aerial spraying September 9 and 10 from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. (weather permitting) to reduce adult mosquitoes and suppress the spread of West Nile Virus over the cities of Orange, Tustin, Villa Park and portions of Anaheim, Fountain Valley, Garden Grove, Santa Ana and Stanton.

rain is what makes the eggs hatch. So you want to spray when dry sometimes -- nm - Karl_S Sep 3, 19:14 4
- Generally here they just spray any standing water. -- nm - Meg Sep 3, 19:38 3
  - West Nile tends to be more prevalent in drier conditions and in mosquitoes that exist in those conditions. - tobor.2 Sep 3, 20:22 2
    - Well, Oregon is fucked. -- nm - Mop Sep 3, 20:35
    - It's endemic here in SoCal and we've already seen cases this year. -- (link) - Meg Sep 3, 20:34
