McPHERSON — The City of McPherson Park Department will be going around the City this week to spray mosquitos.
Weather permitting on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, staff will start with selective spraying, treating public parks and other public lands areas. Again weather-permitting, a full spraying across the city will take place Wednesday, July 2.
Park staff will be spraying mostly in the evenings between 8 p.m. and midnight in public spaces. Park staff will keep an eye on the situation and decide if more spraying is needed in the days to come!
For those with asthma or respiratory sensitivities, staff asks that you stay indoors while spraying occurs.
Here are some tips to reduce any exposure:
- Close up windows, doors, and vents.
- Turn off fans and window air conditioners or set them to recirculate.
- Bring in children’s toys and any outdoor furniture and give them a rinse before using them again.
- Wash any produce you have outside and give your skin and hair a quick wash if they were exposed to the spray.
The City also uses Mosquito Dunks, which are tablets that help control mosquito larvae in standing water in public drainage areas. Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to manage the mosquito population.
Questions about the spraying can be directed to Park Department Supervisor Lauren Przymus at (620) 245- 2535 or email at laurenp@mcpcity.com.
