Mosquito Control in Post Falls, Idaho

Mosquito control in Post Falls is a health-driven concern along the Spokane River and the lake corridor. The West Nile virus is present in the region, and the Culex mosquitoes that carry it breed in the standing water of the river, the lake shore, and the low spots. The barrier treatment, the larvicide, and the breeding-site management are the tools that reduce the pressure on the Post Falls yards.

Where the mosquitoes breed in Post Falls

• The Spokane River corridor — the shoreline edges and the wetland pockets.
• The lake corridor — the shoreline vegetation of the nearby lakes.
• The standing water in the yards — the buckets, the plant saucers, the birdbaths, and the clogged gutters.
• The low spots and the drainage areas — the collections of the still water.
• The shaded vegetation — the shrubs and the tall grass where the adults rest.

The Post Falls mosquito program

1. Inspection. The technician maps the breeding sites, the resting areas, and the yard’s exposure to the river.
2. Larvicide. The standing water that cannot be drained is treated with the larvicide.
3. Barrier treatment. The vegetation and the shaded resting areas are treated with the timed-release barrier.
4. Breeding-site management. The containers, the low spots, and the gutters are identified for the homeowner.
5. Season-long service. The barrier is reapplied every three to four weeks.

The river and the lake factor

The Spokane River corridor and the nearby lakes set the Post Falls mosquito program apart. The river and the lake keep the moisture high, and the shoreline pockets hold the standing water that the Culex mosquitoes need. The riverfront homes run the larvicide and the barrier.

The Post Falls mosquito season is decided in the spring. The yards that clear the buckets, the saucers, and the gutters in May, and treat the standing water with the larvicide before the larvae hatch, are the ones that do not need the fog in August.
