Richmond Heights residents can expect fogging for mosquitoes Wednesday evening, according to the city’s Twitter feed (@RichmondHghtsMO):
“More mosquito spraying tonight here in @RichmondHghtsMO starting at sundown! Keep those pesky things away from our residents!”
From 40 South News: Councilman on mosquito fogging: possible hazards and how to avoid them:
Residents can contact the County hotline, at 314-615-4284, which should be updated between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Thursdays based upon mosquito counts that they do a day or two prior to spraying.
They can now verify in-house whether there are mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus in their five districts.
The hotline will post their spraying schedule for that evening. You can also contact St. Louis County Vector Control via email at: [email protected] with your home address and email address and they should send you an email around 3 p.m. on the days they will be spraying. Maplewood is on the Thursday schedule between sundown and midnight.
Brentwood continues to do its own mosquito fogging, according to city administrator, Bola Akande. She said Public Works started fogging the end of May and will continue through September or early October. The city fogs once a week, every Thursday, between 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Brentwood contracts with St. Louis County for larvicide spraying.
