Vermont to Begin Aerial Spraying to Control Mosquitoes

Posted: Updated:
MONTPELIER, Vt. -

Vermont plans to being aerial spraying Thursday as part of an effort to control mosquitoes.

Nearly 20,000 acres of land in the area of Rutland and Addison counties will be treated.

That's planned for tonight and dusk between 8 and 11 p.m.

The pesticide the state is using is unlikely to have an affect on people.     

But those living in that area should follow a few safety precautions:
- Stay inside during spraying
- Close windows and turn off window AC Units
- If possible, cover vegetable gardens
