Residents of Upper Arlington, brace yourselves for a buzzing reduction; Franklin County Public Health (FCPH) has announced plans to undertake an aerial assault on mosquitoes. This operation, set for the evening of Monday, September 8, targets Upper Arlington North, north of McCoy Road, and Upper Arlington South, below Zollinger Road, with activities kicking off around 8:30 pm, given the weather plays ball. The critters' traps came back positive for the West Nile Virus, as reported on the City of Upper Arlington notification page.
Now, a word to the wise: while it might tickle your curiosity to get up close and personal with these FCPH trucks as they sweep your streets, spraying their mosquito-curbing concoctions, it's best to tuck away that inquisitiveness. The city urges civilians to steer clear of the spray zones for your own safety and to let the professionals do their job uninterrupted. Details were outlined on the City of Upper Arlington's announcement page.
If the whir of spray trucks disturbs your peace or if you simply have a burning question or two, FCPH has opened up communication lines. Just dial the BITE line at 614-525-2483 and fire away. Your queries won't go unanswered, and your anxieties, if any, can be put to rest.
