The County of Santa Clara will begin mosquito spraying in parts of San José to reduce the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which can spread dengue and Zika. Treatments will take place between Cortez Avenue and Orlando Drive starting March 26–27, and between Cypress Point Court and Fairway Glen Lane starting April 2–3, weather permitting.
Spraying will occur in the early mornings around 5 a.m., twice a week every two weeks. Residents may hear a truck that sounds like a leaf blower for about 10 minutes. People and pets can stay indoors during treatment. The pesticides used are approved by U.S. and California environmental agencies.
