Highland Park east of Preston Road to the town limits will be sprayed for mosquitos overnight on Wednesday, July 2, Thursday, July 3, and Saturday, July 5, due to a mosquito sample that tested positive for West Nile Virus.
Ground spraying will take place between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. each night and will include public rights-of-way and Highland Park’s tennis courts. Individuals should remain inside and protect pets during the time the sprayers are in their area, and any pet water dishes left outside should be cleaned after spraying.
The town encourages residents to inspect their property for standing water as these locations may become mosquito breeding sites. For precautions related to mosquito control, residents can review the “Steps You Can Take” webpage on the Town’s website. Yard treatment products can be found at local home improvement stores. Mosquito dunks are available free of charge to residents at Town Hall.
