The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department will spray for mosquitoes early on the morning of Thursday, Sept. 12, and Friday, Sept. 13, after mosquito traps at Cross Keys, Liberty Road, Rogers Road and Maplewood Drive showed increased activity.

On Thursday, spraying will primarily cover the 40505 ZIP code area but will also include parts of 40502, 40509 and 40511. On Friday, the spraying will cover portions of 40503 and 40504. 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.
