Pittsburgh to Spray for West Nile Mosquitoes | Pittsburgh News

Mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus are on the rise in Pittsburgh — and the Allegheny County Health Department is hitting nine neighborhoods with targeted pesticide spraying Tuesday night to curb the threat. Areas like The Hill District, Bloomfield, and Homewood are included, using a state-approved, low-risk formula. Residents are urged to protect themselves from dusk till dawn with bug spray or long sleeves, while also taking personal action by eliminating standing water around their homes. If weather hampers the spray, a backup date is Wednesday — and locals are encouraged to report potential breeding sites.
