The Mosquito Control Program uses environmentally friendly fog to control mosquito populations in Bellaire. Spraying in Bellaire begins when Harris County Mosquito Control begins to spray.

The spraying occurs weekly as follows:
Tuesday nights after 10:00 pm all areas inside Loop 610
Wednesday nights after 10:00 pm all areas outside Loop 610

The spraying cycle can be adjusted due to weather or other conditions.

The City offers a “No Spray Request” for its citizens who do not want the spraying to occur near their home. The citizen needs to contact the Parks and Recreation Department to request the “No Spray Request” form and return it completed to the Recreation Center.
