According to the county website, the “Prince William County Gypsy Moth & Mosquito Control Branch typically sprays for adult mosquitoes Monday through Friday throughout the mosquito season, and spray is often done at night.” 

There’s no set schedule for mosquito spraying, but the county decides where to spray by trapping mosquitoes. 

“If a threshold number of female mosquitoes is met or exceeded on a given night, this can trigger mosquito spray for that trap area,” reads the county website. “Another trigger for mosquito spray is that the mosquitoes caught in a trap area test positive for West Nile virus.”
