Clarke Mosquito explains dusk spraying options; trustee to lead environmental follow‑up
Summary
A Clarke Mosquito representative detailed larvicide and low‑volume spray options and said spraying is done at dusk; Trustee Kevin Christensen stepped in as Environmental Trustee and will follow up with the company on resident questions.
Emily Kluger of Clarke Mosquito presented mosquito‑control options to the Holiday Hills board, explaining larvicide and spray choices and how timing affects non‑target insects.
Kluger noted there are seven larvicides and four low‑volume sprays available and said, "The spray is done at dusk, as that is when mosquitos are active.” She addressed concerns about pollinators and birds, explaining those species are primarily active during daylight and are not affected by dusk spraying; she also described a resident portal Clarke maintains for questions and service requests.
Trustee Kevin Christensen agreed to serve as Environmental Trustee and will act as the village point person for follow up with Clarke Mosquito. Trustees and staff said they will continue to weigh resident concerns about pollinators against public‑health considerations for nuisance and disease‑vector control.
