The department hires extra workers during the summer to handle the mosquito season.
Typically, mosquitoes breed in areas that have standing, stagnant water, which has become a common sight in the area after multiple rounds of heavy rain.
Officials say no human cases of the West Nile virus have been reported in Louisville so far this year.
