Mosquito Abatement
The Village contracts with Clark Mosquito Control to treat standing waters and catch basins for Culex Pipien mosquitoes, which can carry West Nile Virus.  On occasion, the Village will also authorize a truck spraying.  Truck spraying is generally not as effective as larviciding which is why the Village chooses to keep truck spraying to a minimum.  You can do your part to combat mosquitoes by doing the following:

  • Call the Clarke "Hotline" at 1-800-942-2555 to report standing/stagnant water.
  • Inform the Village at (630) 620-5740 if you have a private catch basin.  The Village will have it added to the list for larviciding briquettes.
  • Wear repellent after dusk.
  • Change water in bird baths every other day and eliminate water from flower pots, gutters, toys and pool covers.
