SIOUX FALLS, SD (KELO-AM) Sioux Falls annual battle against mosquitos was commencing Tuesday night, weather permitting.

This is the first spraying of 2016. The spraying will occur between the hours of 8 p.m. and 1 a.m. The City will use a product called Permanone at very low concentrations, which breaks down quickly.
As progress is made toward completing the spraying process, updates will be placed on the City’s website. Citizens wanting to report local concerns on mosquitoes or standing water should leave this information on the automated Mosquito Reporting Hotline at 605-367-8799.
