Four Parishes To Be Fogged Next Week

The Vector Control Unit will visit districts in four parishes when it conducts its mosquito reduction programme next week.

The team will tackle areas in St. Joseph for the first four days of the week, before going into communities in St. Andrew, St. Thomas and St. George.

On Monday, July 20, the Unit will spray Foster Hall, Tent Bay, Bathsheba, Hill Crest, Cleavers Hill, Phillips Road, Hillswick Road, and surrounding areas.

The next day, Tuesday, July 21, Airy Hill, Sugar Hill, Chimborazo, Braggs Hill, and Parris Hill will be fogged.

It will be the turn of Bonwell, Bowling Alley Hill, Coffee Gully, Tourville Road, Orange Grove, Horse Hill, Surinam, Bowling Alley, and St. Elizabeth on Wednesday, July 22.

The Unit will target the following areas in St. Joseph and St. Andrew on Thursday, July 23: Boarder Hall, Fruitful Hill, Cane Garden, Saddleback, Coconut Grove, Springfield, Atlantic Park, Cattlewash, Mellows Hill, and neighbouring districts.

The fogging exercise for the week will conclude on Friday, July 24, in St. Thomas and St. George, when the team visits Proute, Strong Hope, Walkes Spring, Mount Wilton, Applewhaites Road, Roach Village, Jericho, and Fisherpond Tenantry.

Fogging takes place from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily. Householders are reminded to open their windows and doors to allow the spray to enter. Children should not be allowed to play in the fog.

The public is advised that the completion of scheduled fogging activities may be affected by events beyond the Unit’s control. In such circumstances, the Unit will return to communities affected in the soonest possible time.
