Mosquito spraying scheduled overnight in Jamestown

Spraying in the City of Jamestown for adult mosquitoes is scheduled for tonight.

All spraying operations will take place between approximately 8:30 p.m. until approximately 6 a.m. Friday and are contingent upon weather conditions.

Parents are advised to keep children out of the streets and away from the spray machines. Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling in the vicinity of sprayer units.

Residents can obtain additional reduction of mosquito populations by supplementing the mosquito control operations with the spraying of individual backyards where necessary. It is also recommended that grass be mowed regularly and shrubs trimmed to reduce resting places for the mosquitoes. Articles holding water such as tires and other receptacles should be emptied to prevent the development of mosquito larvae.

If there are any questions about the scheduled residential application, call City Hall at 252-5900.
