Mosquito and Fly Fogging

The City of Bowman will be ground level fogging for mosquitoes and flies during the hours of 2:00 am and 5:00 am, tentatively on Wednesday September 2nd, weather permitting.  While the pesticides being used are approved by the EPA, residents that are concerned about exposure may take the following precautions for up to 30 minutes after fogging:

• Avoid being outside while fogging occurs, close windows and consider keeping pets inside.
• Cover small ornamental fishponds.

To help prevent a surge in mosquito population, please make sure that anything with standing water on your property is dumped.
