The City of Monticello Street Department will begin spraying for mosquitos on Tuesday June 21, 2022 weather permitting. If weather will not allow us to spray that evening, then spraying will be moved to the next evening that weather allows. The Street Department will spray the City Limits once per week for the next several weeks. If the population worsens, we may move to twice a week. Spraying will be done during the evening hours. The spray trucks will spray in the alleys where available and the streets where the is no alley. If you do not want the area at your home sprayed, please call the Monticello Street Department at 574-583-7033.
