West Baton Rouge Parish Mosquito Control to spray parks, schools after rainy Memorial Day weekend
PORT ALLEN — Rain over the Memorial Day weekend created conditions for above-average floodwater mosquito activity throughout West Baton Rouge Parish.
The parish's mosquito control agency says that spray truck operations are expected to begin Tuesday evening and run through Thursday night to help prevent an uptick in mosquito activity in standing water caused by the rainfall.
The West Baton Rouge Mosquito Control Department says none of the 34 mosquito samples submitted for testing last week came back positive for disease. The samples were sent to the LSU Disease Diagnostic Lab and as of May 26, all results were clear.
