The City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board (NOMTRCB) will conduct area-wide spray missions tomorrow morning, Friday, July 11, 2025, targeting larval populations of mosquitoes. Treatments will be conducted by helicopter between the hours of 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. weather permitting. The purpose of these treatments is to target standing water where mosquitoes lay their eggs and kill their larvae before they become adults.

This treatment produces crystalline proteins that are toxic to the aquatic stages of mosquitos and other flies when it is ingested. These treatments are highly specific to mosquitoes and other flies, and are non-toxic for other non-target organisms including humans, dogs, bees, etc. Treatments will be conducted in the following areas:
