Mosquitos Q&A

Hilliard has a contract with Franklin County Public Health to spray for mosquitos.

Spraying is broken up by zones. Franklin County Public Health will spray Hilliard east, west, central, south and north at various times, weather permitting.

Franklin County Public Health typically sprays when a trapped mosquito tests positive for West Nile virus. FCPH sprays around 9 pm, weather permitting. You can view a schedule of the planned sprayings here. You can follow us on social media to keep updated on sprays, or join our newsletter to be alerted when FCPH will spray.

Franklin County Public Health recommends you take these steps to help protect your family from risk of mosquitos:

  • Wear insect repellant containing DEET (follow package directions).
  • Limit outdoor activity at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
  • Eliminate all standing water around your home (mosquitoes breed in water and it doesn’t take much time).
