Areas in La Grange Park that will be sprayed tonight include areas of the village that are west of the Indian Harbor Belt railroad.

Mosquito Tips:

  • Avoid keeping standing water near your home. Mosquitoes love birdbaths, empty buckets and other household items that collect and hold water.
  • Keep your lawn cut short. Don't let mosquitoes hide in the tall grass.
  • Clean out and fill tree holes.

These are other mosquito information and tips can be found at the Des Plain Mosquito Abatement website at www.desplainsmad.com.
