Town of Cicero, N.Y. - The Onondaga County Health Department says the forecast is showing favorable weather conditions for aerial mosquito spraying of the Cicero Swamp.
They have scheduled the spraying to take place Thursday, August 31, after 6:30 pm.
The spraying was postponed from an earlier date due to weather.
The decision to spray was made as a result of mosquitoes that were found positive for eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV) and West Nile Virus (WNV) from traps located in the Cicero Swamp area.
Additional mosquito pools collected on August 22 were found positive for EEEV and WNV from from an Island Road trap and EEEV from a trap on Taft Road.
