Reminder:  Saturday, April 25 – Mosquito Control Meeting at NE Library

12:30PM – 4:30PM

Itty Bitty Mosquito Population Committee sponsors public meeting at NE Library

Biogents reps, including at least one of their scientists, are joining us for the Ward 6 Spring Clean. They’ll spend the morning out in the neighborhood meeting neighbors where they live, getting a feel for our blocks, and helping think through trap placement strategy live. Afterward, they’ll head to the Northeast Library for a drop-in session where you can come learn more about how the traps work, ask questions and geek out with their scientist if the mood strikes.
