To combat a major hatch-off of mosquitoes after Tropical Storm Lee, Cajun Mosquito Control, the Terrebonne's mosquito-control service, will conduct aerial sprayings Wednesday and Thursday evening.

Weather permitting, the sprayings will begin at sunset, and will include Dularge, Bayou Black, Chauvin, Montegut and Pointe-aux-Chenes.

During the aerial spraying, people sensitive to chemicals or wanting to avoid exposure to insecticides should remain indoors. Others can conduct normal outdoor activities. You may notice a low-flying aircraft over your community conducting the spraying, but do not stare up at the plane or attempt to follow it.

Tropical Storm Lee's floodwaters triggered a massive hatch off of mosquitoes in the bayou communities. Parish mosquito control officials are working overtime to spray communities morning and night, according to Cajun Mosquito Control owner Jessie Boudreaux.

If you have any questions or mosquito related problems feel free to contact our office at 879-3677.
