Officials with the Vermont Health Department will discuss efforts to control the mosquito population in the region during a meeting at 7 p.m. tomorrow night (Tuesday) at the Brandon Town Hall, according to a report by WCAX-TV.
The department plans to begin aerial spraying of insecticides as early as Wednesday evening in response to two diagnosed human cases of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). The aerial spraying would be centered on the Whiting-Brandon area.
EEE and West Nile virus were detected in mosquito pools in Whiting. Ground spraying is already being performed by the Brandon, Leicester, Salisbury, Goshen Mosquito District.
