El Campo actively fought a surge in mosquitoes caused by recent rains. The city’s Public Works team used fogging to control three types of mosquitoes: those from floodwaters, containers like flowerpots, and stagnant, dirty water that can carry diseases. Residents helped by removing standing water in gutters, old tires, and birdbaths, keeping lawns trimmed, and treating swimming pools. Public Works brought the situation under control and urged citizens to report mosquito issues through the city website, phone, or email.
