Hi im a neighbor. If. you look through the other pins around the neighborhood- they respond with the same excuse of coming by 3 times a week during the middle of the night. I dont think anyone has seen them (are they using BACKPACKS?... that will not solve the issue). Would love to get some neighbors to demand the city to show transparency of receipts and company used to do this. Why they would put a large water project next to a residential area is beyond me... still water getting trapped all the time causing these flies to be out of control

I have never seen the town spraying at any time of day or night and I sure don't know many town vector control workers who would be working a graveyard shift

Exactly! Are you on the facebook group (The Bridges at Gilbert). Im going to try to see if we get something done about this because its made it impossible to go outside during certain hours and enjoy this weather... It will only get even worse once they put water in the new basin in.

Yep I will watch for that post!

Agreed!! It’s worse now than previous years. You are right, I would like to research the company the city is supposedly sending out 3 times a week. We hear nothing and we are up early in the morning.

Thanks again for submitting your request to Gilbert 311. The warmer days have allowed the midge flies to hatch in swarms. Our staff is continuing to treat the water and our contractor is fogging three nights per week. The fogging contractor is scheduled for Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, between 9pm and 5am weather permitting (no rain or wind). If the weather prevents them from fogging, they will try again the next night. Their route in this area usually has them fogging 11pm-2am. The additional basins will allow for more dry-time in the fill and dry cycle and should disrupt the hatching of the midge flies.

Thanks again for submitting your request to Gilbert 311.
