Environment Portfolio Councillor Maria Suarez said further treatments were scheduled for the coming weeks.
“The control activities are scientifically managed to target specific areas on public land where and when mozzie breeding is known to occur, such as in the Maroochy River catchment and Pumicestone Passage catchment,” she said.
“The season starts in spring each year, as temperatures warm up and humidity increases, and runs through until April, when the cooler autumn temperatures take hold.
“Each season we typically conduct around 12 treatments across approximately 1000 hectares.”
