Update on aerial Mosquito Spraying: Southborough status still pending

A quick update on the status of aerial spraying for mosquitoes in Southborough. It had been scheduled to begin Tuesday night for our area and to last several evenings. I checked in with the state to find out if we did get sprayed. The answer was no.

It turns out, that, due to weather conditions, they didn’t cover all of the Towns listed last week. Southborough was among the Towns missed. The listing and map for this week’s sprayings didn’t include Southborough. Unable to get an answer on our status, I updated Town officials.

The Board of Health reached out to the state and was informed that our spraying is “pending”. The specific day & time depends on weather and availability of planes.

I heard low flying planes making passes over us at about 2:30 am this morning. Are we sure it didn’t begin last night?

I heard those planes too, and @actually saw one with lights on flying very low near our house.

Yes! Thought I was imagining things, but I was up and about that time. Heard those planes and actually saw one with lights on flying fairly close. Maybe they just didn’t spray, or maybe they did :-)

I second what Bob said, I’m pretty sure they were flying low last night/early morning

They’ve been maintaining a pretty detailed site about planned sprayings and progress on those sprayings as they happen. Southborough did get covered last night:

According to this link, most if not all of Southboro was sprayed last night.
