Description
This is a message from Allegheny Alerts.
Mosquito samples collected in the Pittsburgh neighborhoods of Arlington, Chartiers, South Side Slopes and Windgap, as well as the municipalities of Crafton, Ingram and Mt. Oliver have tested positive for West Nile virus.
In response, the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) will treat those identified communities with a mosquito pesticide called Zenivex E20. It is not harmful to humans or pets. Crews will use a truck-mounted, Ultra Low Volume (ULV) sprayer on Wednesday, August 16, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. to lower the local mosquito population and minimize the risk of human transmission.
Treatment will occur in the City of Pittsburgh neighborhoods of Arlington, Chartiers, South Side Slopes and Windgap. Mosquito spraying will also take place in Crafton, Ingram and Mt. Oliver.
In the event of rain, the spraying will take place Thursday, August 17, during the same hours.
