Due to high winds on Tuesday, September 3, the Ouachita Parish Mosquito Abatement District (OPMAD) was unable to complete its scheduled aerial mission. As a result, aerial spraying will continue tonight, Wednesday, September 4, with a second mission planned for tomorrow, September 5. Please be advised that both evenings are weather dependent.
The scheduled spray time will be approximately from 9:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. The areas to be treated include the urban areas of Monroe and West Monroe, including Richwood and Bawcomville/Brownsville, Sterlington proper, the Howard Brown Road area, and near the intersection of Hwy. 80 and I-20.
It is important to note that the spray time is dependent on weather conditions. In the event of rain, fog, or windy conditions, the spraying for the night may be canceled.
