Conditional on FAA approval, treatment is set for Monday, June 15

Santa Clara County Mosquito & Vector Control District recently surveyed the Baylands Athletic Center pond and East Palo Alto after a high abundance of mosquitoes was observed. To proactively address emergence from the pond, they will apply a larvicide treatment by drone because of pond access challenges. The drone operator has requested FAA clearance, and if approved, the treatment is planned for as early as Monday, June 15 and should take one to two hours.
