The Unit will focus its mosquito reduction efforts in St. Peter, on Monday, October 7, when the team visits French Village, Mount Brevitor, Brevitor Hall North, Mile-and-A-Quarter, All Saints, and surrounding areas.

The next day, Tuesday, October 8, they will spray areas in St. Joseph, including Gaggs Hill, Hillswick Road, Phillips Road, Cleavers Hill, Bathsheba, Elizabeth Village, St. Elizabeth New Road, and Foster Hall.

The Unit will concentrate its efforts in St. Michael for the rest of the week. On Wednesday, October 9, it will be the turn of Rock Gap, Spooners Hill, Clarke Gap, Woodstock Road, Long Gap, Nos. 1 to 4 Pillersdorf Development, Nos. 1 to 2 Link Road, Quarry Drive, Grazettes Main Road, and Derriston Road.

The team will go into Chapel Road, Two Mile Hill, and St. Barnabas Heights, on Thursday, October 10.  The fogging exercise for the week will conclude on Friday, October 11, in Hanson Hill, Lower Burney, Mount Friendship, Cutting Road, and environs.

Fogging takes place from 4:30 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 spray.

Members of the public are 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.
