Weather permitting, the areas delineated below are scheduled for mosquito control spraying between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. Wednesday July 30 and Thursday July 31 due to mosquito abundance or high trap counts.
Control Areas: The areas to be sprayed are within an area generally bounded by:
1200 block of Elmwood Boulevard: Nolte Drive on the north, Montclair Avenue on the west, Polk Street on the east and Brunner Avenue on the south.
3600 block of Mount Ranier Street: Davis Street on the north, Albrook Drive on the west, Westmoreland Road on the east and Mount Washington Street on the south.
While the insecticide is approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for treatment, residents in the above areas should avoid contact with the spray by staying indoors. Persons inside a vehicle while trucks are actively spraying should remain in their vehicles with the windows up and the air conditioner on until the trucks pass and the spray is no longer visible. Persons out during the scheduled spraying time should be alert for trucks and should not follow them. Residents who come in contact with the spray are advised to wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. The spray breaks down quickly in the presence of sunlight and has no residual effect.
