When they asked for my address I indicated that it wasn't only my address but that I've also been at a friends house in other areas bellow 466a and had the same problem. Her response was the ticket will only be for my area and tell others bothered by Mosquitos to call in and ask to create a ticket for their area. The call information is included below. Hope they do something about them now.
But we have a lot of birds around us I hope this doesn't stop them from coming to our feeders.

Wow within 2 hrs I received a call from Mosquito Control telling me they would spray my area tonight. Impressive!
Wow in another 2 hr I received another call - I'll try to paraphrase the call > We no longer have a schedule for spraying we now have a more scientific method with a Entomologists where we set out traps, count the Mosquitos and their age and type and spray based on this method. Since we are limited to the amount and placement of the traps we rely on and encourage residents to tells us areas that require our attention. It has been a very wet summer so far and Mosquito counts are much higher. In addition to spraying tonight, they are returning in the morning to see how effective it was.
The response from Mosquito control has been great > Now hopefully the outcome will be as good as their response.
