2025 City of Lancaster Mosquito Fogging Notice

Mosquito Fogging

To help protect public health and reduce the spread of diseases like Zika and West Nile virus, the City sprays for mosquitoes each year. Spraying takes place between 9:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. when mosquitoes are most active and pollinators like bees and butterflies are less active. This helps limit the impact on those important species.

What You Need to Know:

  • Spraying happens one to two weeks per year, based on mosquito activity and community reports.

  • Weather or other delays may pause spraying, but crews will resume where they left off.

  • Residents with respiratory concerns should keep windows closed during overnight spraying.

  • Beekeepers should cover hives and limit bee access during spray times.

If you or someone in your household has respiratory sensitivities, or if you maintain beehives, you can sign up for spray alerts through Notify Me on the City's website.

Stay informed. Stay safe.
