The Office of Public Health (OPH), after consulting with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and Lower Merion Township officials, will be adulticiding (spraying) to control the adult mosquito population in selected areas. The spraying will be done where sampling by the OPH and PADEP has shown mosquitoes that carry the West Nile Virus (WNV). For notification of any future spray events sign up with "ReadyMontco" at: www.montcopa.org/readymontco. The spray event will occur, weather permitting on Monday, September 24, 2018 from approximately 7:45PM to 10:30PM. The alternate date will be Friday, September 28, 2018. All areas within the highlighted sections of the attached map will be subjected to the spray. Please see the attached map. Residents within the spray area should consider remaining indoors, closing windows and turning off ventilation systems that draw-in outside air for the duration of the spray plus 30 minutes after.
