Mosquito Samples Test Positive for Virus in Terrebonne Parish

The Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government’s mosquito control contractor has reported that mosquito samples in the Lisa Park area have tested positive for the West Nile Virus.

Due to the positive mosquito samples, Parish President Gordon Dove has authorized additional mosquito spraying in the areas of the positive samples. The truck mounted sprayers will operate during the evening hours beginning Friday, September 21 and continuing Saturday, September 22 and Sunday, September 23, weather permitting.

The Parish’s mosquito control contractor, Terrebonne Mosquito Control, L.L.C., will be sending personnel into the Schriever area to search for vector mosquito breeding sites and spray those sites with bacterial and/or other larvicide to control the mosquito population. 

If it is necessary for the mosquito contractor to enter your yard, you will be asked to sign a permission slip to allow an inspection of your yard for mosquito breeding and to apply bacterial and/or larvicide in your yard.

Residents in the affected areas will receive information regarding the West Nile Virus on how to protect yourself from mosquitos and what you can do around your home to help alleviate areas that mosquitos may breed.

Residents may call Terrebonne Mosquito Control, L.L.C. at 985-580-1629 with any questions or concerns regarding mosquito control or spraying issues.

Information on how you can help protect you and your family from mosquito bites and mosquito populations may also be found on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s website at www.cdc.gov/westnile/vectorcontrol/index.html.
