After West Nile virus case reported, SC town to spray for mosquitoes: Where & when

A case of West Nile Virus was recently reported in Anderson County, prompting Anderson County Emergency Management to hire a company to spray for mosquitos. So far this year, South Carolina has had 30 cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control. California has had the most cases at 452. Gregory Pest Solutions will be spraying for mosquitos in a one-mile radius of Barnes Station Road and Manning Road in Iva late Friday, Nov. 13, depending on the weather. “The water-based pesticide used during spraying does not pose a health risk to humans or animals, however, beekeepers with hives in the area should arrange to relocate or cover hives until spraying is complete,” the Emergency Management Agency said. Earlier this year, the South Carolina Department of Public Health confirmed two outbreaks of West Nile virus. There were four cases in the Midlands and two in the Lowcountry. There were also two cases confirmed in Richland County in early August. A number of cities and counties have sprayed for mosquitoes this year including Myrtle Beach, Columbia, Charleston and Horry County. The Charleston program used aerial and truck-based spraying, along with catch basin treatments, after cases of West Nile virus were confirmed.
