The Heath District’s Residential Services Unit will fog the area of the city that is west of the Olentangy River. Fogging will start around dusk from marked Health District pickup trucks. Residents should bring children and pets indoors while fogging is being conducted. If weather is not appropriate for fogging on Monday or if more time is needed to complete fogging, Health District staff will resume on Tuesday, Aug.17.
Updated fogging plans will be announced on DelawareHealth.org and on the Health District’s Facebook and Twitter pages.
Any resident who does not want their property fogged is asked to call the Health District at 740-368-1700 and request to be placed on the no-fog list. Requests must be submitted by 12pm on Monday, Aug. 16.
All residents are urged to protect themselves from mosquito bites. The most effective prevention is to dump standing water where mosquitoes breed. Make sure your property is free of stagnant water in flower pots, bird baths, tarps, gutters and other places where it can collect. Avoid going outdoors in the morning and the evening when mosquitoes are most active. If you do go out, wear light-colored, long-sleeved clothing and apply mosquito repellant that contains DEET or Picaridin.

We have a terrible problem with mosquitoes at the end of Joy Ave. They even attack during daylight hours. Please could you fog in our area
I live on Acme Rd and the mosquitoes are so bad they’re bitting at all hours of the day. I can’t even take my kids outside.
