Baytown outlines aggressive plan to curb mosquitoes
City officials say they will aggressively spray identified mosquito clusters and storm drains in Baytown and nearby subdivisions. A new full time mosquito operator could expand larviciding to prevent hatching, while overtime spraying by city workers remains an option during hatchouts. Citizens are urged to wear protective clothing and remove standing water, with health questions directed to 281-420-5384.
