Goffstown plans spraying for mosquitoes in public areas
GOFFSTOWN — Residents are asked to stay away from town parks and other areas as it sprays to control adult mosquitoes, officials said.
Spraying will take place Thursday evening at Barnard Park, Roy Park, Sarette Fields and Lions Fields, Goffstown High School, Mountain View Middle School, Villa Augustina School and St. Anselm College, from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
No one can be present during the spraying, and the sites are closed from 5:30 p.m. Thursday until 5 a.m. Friday.
West Nile Virus and Eastern Equine Encephalitis have been found in mosquitoes trapped in Rockingham and Hillsborough counties.
The insecticides Anvil 10+10 (sumithrin 10 percent), and CrossCheck (bifenthrin 7.9 percent) will be used. Spraying will be achieved using backpack sprayers and a truck mounted sprayer.
No townwide road spraying is scheduled.
Residents can call the 734-4144 for further information regarding spray dates, times, locations, insecticides, precautions, West Nile Virus, EEE and other concerns.
