Update on EEE spraying in Wayland

Important update on EEE spraying in Wayland

Due to weather conditions aerial spraying by the state was delayed last night and only a very small area of North Wayland was sprayed. Depending on weather conditions, aerial spraying is planned to continue this evening and for the next 5 or 6 days to complete the planned areas. We are told Wayland is planned to be sprayed tonight but we will not know for sure until tomorrow, due to weather conditions and other factors that can cause delays. Maps that show planned areas of aerial spraying and completed areas are on the state website and are updated as soon possible after each evening’s application.

Once aerial spraying is completed for Wayland we must wait 24 hours and then we can move forward with our local plans for mosquito control via truck mounted and back pack perimeter spray.

For more information and maps that show expected spray areas and completed spray areas please go to the Health Department website; www.wayland.ma.us/health-department
