Spraying will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 12, and last for six weeks. All streets and neighborhoods within city limits will be sprayed, while parks and the Quail Valley Golf Course will be treated on an as-needed basis.

Special attention will be given to public drainage areas and other places where mosquitos are known to swarm.
