About the Weed Department

Overview: Blaine County Mosquito Control

Blaine County Mosquito District takes a proactive approach to mosquito abatement in the Milk River Valley of Blaine County. Our employees use a number of different techniques to help combat these nuisance bugs, however spraying is probably the one most of the public is familiar with.

Our spraying schedule is as follows:

Harlem & Chinook – every other night, Monday through Friday
Zurich – Twice a week
Rural routes – once a week

Spraying Mosquitoes can be hindered at times, as certain weather conditions are required for spraying to be effective. Wind, humidity, and temperatures under 65 degrees or above 85 degrees can all cause delays in our schedule.
