The Iberia Parish Mosquito Abatement District will conduct aerial mosquito control operations on Tuesday (6/24) and Wednesday (6/25) evenings to address persistent mosquito populations in the parish.

Spraying will begin near sunset and last approximately one hour, weather permitting.

Citizens are encouraged to wear mosquito repellent as directed, avoid outdoor activity at dawn and dusk, wear light-colored clothing, and eliminate standing water around their homes.
