Reports show that traps located near Cross Keys, Liberty Road, Rogers Road, and Maplewood Drive have recorded a noticeable increase in our little flying friends, prompting health officials to intervene.
Stay Safe While Spraying

Keep your windows closed, and if you have pets, it might be a good idea to keep them indoors during the spraying. If you’re heading out, consider using mosquito repellent to keep those pesky bugs at bay.
