West Nile Positive Mosquito Pools - 2022 Season

From Fulton County:







We were notified yesterday of 3 more positive mosquito pools for West Nile Virus at these locations: Benson Senior Center and Perkerson Park. Attached are the maps of 1/4 mile radius of the area where Bug Busters will be spraying at night. The spraying will occur once a week for approximately 4 weeks and is dependent on the weather. My team will be visiting these neighborhoods to provide awareness to the communities of the positive test results in that area and education on preventing mosquito bites and breeding areas around their homes. At this time, we are in the process of having signage printed up to place in the parks where positive mosquito pools are found; however, they will not be ready in time to post at these locations now.

Please help share this information through your networks. If anyone has any specific questions about the spraying operation, such as when they will be in each location, please reach out to Court Parker, Rick Anglian or Michael Pothier with Bug Busters at: (770) 517-0200. Or you can email them at: court@bugbustersusa.com or ranglian@bugbustersusa.com or mpothier@bugbustersusa.com.

Here is a link from FGTV on mosquito spraying: https://youtu.be/y6fetZ4LTDI.
