Weed & mosquito patrol in Commerce City


Dear Dot,

Since we have had much rain so far this year, do you know if Commerce City has and special plans to control the "over-weeding" in the city?

Last year, I got fed up of seeing so many weeds, that I went around in my car with a sprayer and sprayed around bus benches, and around stop lights where people have to cross (push the button to cross) that had weeds about 5 feet tall. Needless to say, these weeds pop up in the medians as well, and wreck the pavement.

Mosquito's around the Buffalo Run golf course are getting bad again, have they put in new mosquito pellets in the ponds yet to prevent mosquito's? Saturday night I saw a swarm of them over one of the ponds.

If you could find out what the city plans on doing it would be appreciated.

what about the tall grasses on the course at the entrance to the Village of Buffalo Run? It is approximately waist high, along with other areas between the Village of Buffalo Run and the Buffalo Run Golf Course

According to Ross Hilker, marketing and public relations manager for Commerce City the city’s weed control plans are currently “following the schedule for the summer and we are looking at how things are going... the city will address (the weeds) on a regular schedule.” As for the mosquitoes at the Buffalo run Golf Course, “ We are doing quite a bit to alleviate larva and mosquitoes, including spraying, keeping and eye on where water collects and cutting down tall grasses, “ Hilker said.

Dot's on the case ...
