Council approves 2025 mosquito‑control contract with Sioux Falls focused on West Nile surveillance
Summary
Council approved a seasonal mosquito-control contract with the City of Sioux Falls focusing surveillance and spraying on West Nile–carrying species; city attorney reviewed the contract.
The Canton City Council approved a seasonal mosquito‑control contract with the City of Sioux Falls for the 2025 season. Canton will rely on the Sioux Falls vector control program’s trap counts to determine when to spray; the program specifically monitors species capable of carrying West Nile virus.
City staff said the contract focuses on public health by targeting species that can transmit West Nile rather than treating all nuisance mosquitoes. The city attorney reviewed the contract prior to the council meeting, staff said.
Councilors voted to approve the contract on the record.
