Additional mosquito spraying starts Tuesday morning

Because of increased reports of West Nile virus in the area and high nighttime temperatures, parish officials will begin using planes to spray for mosquitoes starting Tuesday, according to a news release from the city-parish.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Mosquito Abatement and Rodent Control plane will be flying between 6 a.m. and 6:45 a.m. Tuesday in the northern section of Baker and Brown Heights areas, the news release said.
