After experiencing record-high levels of West Nile virus (WNV) in Durham this year, we will conduct the final round of targeted ultra-low volume mosquito spraying, as recommended by NC DHHS, next week, October 15-16. Learn more below and in our news release here: dconc.gov/DurhamCo-New...

Why are you spraying for mosquitoes? Ultra-low volume spraying was recommended following mosquito testing with the NC Department of Health and Human Services to reduce the presence of West Nile virus (WNV) in our community. Durham has experienced record-high numbers of mosquitoes testing positive for WNV this year. One-third of all human neuroinvasive WNV cases and half of all WNV-positive mosquitoes confirmed in NC this year have been in Durham, mostly in the area being sprayed. Although only neuroinvasive human cases are reportable, it is estimated that for every one confirmed neuroinvasive case there were likely 100-150 asymptomatic or with mild symptoms. It is estimated that Durham has experienced 300-450 actual human cases of WNV so far.

Why are you doing this now when cool weather is about to begin?Spraying now helps to not only eliminate current populations of WNV-positive mosquitoes, but by also eliminating their eggs and larvae now, we can reduce their populations in the area when warm weather returns in the spring.

Is my health at risk from the spray? The spray is being applied at ultra-low volumes of less than one ounce per acre, posing very little risk to people and pets. Although health risks are low, we always recommend precautions any time an insecticide is being sprayed.

Will this also kill bees in the area? We have noted the locations of beekeepers and will avoid spraying in these areas. Additionally, spraying at night reduces the risk of harm to bees as they have returned to the protection of their hives in these hours.

I’m not in the spray area. Could you also spray my neighborhood? Unfortunately we are not able to add additional spraying locations at this time.

Unironically: These days I enjoy local news stories that are like "a system worked as expected and the worst case scenario was averted." It's in total contrast to what's going on at a macro level.

Some school districts are enforcing new NC law by saying teachers can't let students read classroom library books until they've been catalogued. Others say teachers need permission to have books in their classroom that are not in media center. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e... #nced #ncpol

New NC law means teachers are providing fewer books for their students to read

The new state requirement that teachers catalog the names of all the books in their classroom is drawing complaints from educators.

And what's next? Well, Macron could continue the game he's been playing since July 2024, which is to pretty much pretend his prior snap elections changed nothing despite heavy losses. But it's looking plausible he'll call new snap elections; that'd be a golden opportunity for the far-right, again.
