DELAWARE – The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control will begin spraying woodland pools to control mosquito populations.

The spraying will start as early as Friday and carry on until mid-April, weather permitting.

Spraying by DNREC’s mosquito control section will begin in Southern Sussex County then expand into Kent and New Castle counties over the next several weeks.

DNREC says targeting immature mosquitoes limits the emergence of adult mosquitoes later in the spring.
