Persistent populations of flood water mosquitoes will be addressed by aerial operations.
Planned sorties will begin tonight (3/11), Tuesday (3/12) and Wednesday (3/13) if needed. Each evening will be evaluated for the appropriate weather conditions. Operations will begin each evening near sundown and last approximately one (1.5) and one-half hours.
During this period, only hypersensitive individuals or persons that wish to avoid all exposure to chemicals in the designated spray area should refrain from outdoor activities; otherwise, all other citizens can proceed with normal outdoor activities!
Citizens will notice low flying aircraft — If the aircraft is overhead DO NOT attempt to follow the path of the aircraft. The aircraft is traveling quickly and will be out of the area in a brief period!
Sorties planned Monday (3/11) will be south of Hwy. 90, east to west from Patoutville, Bayou Jack to west of Avery Island. Tuesday (3/12) will be south of Hwy.90, east to west from Lydia, south Port of Iberia, Laurent to just west of Avery Island Rd.
