The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department will spray for mosquitoes early on the morning of Wednesday, Sept. 25, and Thursday, Sept. 26, after mosquito traps at Dogwood Trace, Sycamore Road and Johnsdale Drive showed increased activity.

On Wednesday, spraying will primarily cover the 40504 ZIP code. On Thursday, the spraying will cover portions of 40502, 40505 and 40509. Spraying for both days will be done between 3-6 a.m.

For spraying to occur, the wind speed must be less than 10 mph, the temperature must be greater than 55 degrees F and there can be no rain or dense fog. The mosquito spray used by the health department only affects adult mosquitoes that are in the air at the time of spraying.
