Roscoe ends mosquito control in 2026
The Village of Roscoe, Illinois, will discontinue its municipal mosquito control program beginning in the summer of 2026. This change, as reported by the Rockford Register Star, indicates that residents should anticipate a higher mosquito presence, especially following rainfall and during periods of warm weather. The village's previous mosquito control efforts cost approximately $25,000 each year and were intended to decrease mosquito populations and associated health risks. Moving forward, individual residents will need to implement their own preventive measures to manage mosquitoes in and around their properties.
