Mosquito Spraying Wednesday Night In Hyattsville

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — The Maryland Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Prince George’s County Health Department, will spray for adult mosquitoes Wednesday night.

Spraying will take place after 7:30 p.m. within a three-fourths of a mile radius of Deadend Hitching Post Lane in Hyattsville.

While not all mosquitoes carry diseases, MDA suggests that residents take precautions to minimize their exposure to mosquito bites. These measures include:

• Wear long, loose fitting, light colored clothing
• Wear insect repellents according to product labels
• Avoid mosquito infested areas during prime periods of activity (between dusk and dawn)
• Install, inspect, and repair window and door screens in homes and stables
• Regularly clean bird baths and bowls for pet food and water
• Remove or empty all water-holding containers
