New Area of Pikesville To Be Sprayed Against Mosquitoes
Because two more human cases of West Nile virus have been confirmed within the county, the Maryland Department of Agriculture will spray parts of Pikesville and Catonsville Sept. 18 and 19, respectively.
More cases of West Nile virus mean more insecticide in Pikesville.
According to Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz's office, the state will spray in Pikesville against mosquitoes on Sept. 18.
They'll be in Catonsville on Sept. 19.
