Public Health Advisory - Additional positive EEE samples
Updated 8/15/19: There have been two additional positive EEE samples collected from a trap on Oyster Pond. The samples were taken on Tuesday, 8/13/19, and were found in the bird-biting mosquito, Culiseta melanura, and the mammal-biting mosquito, Coquillettidia perturbens. This area was included in the truck spraying that took place on 8/14/19. The Cape Cod Mosquito Control Project is going to take additional samples now that the area has been sprayed, and will update the Falmouth Health Department as soon as those results are in. Contact the Cape Cod Mosquito Control Project at (508)775-1510 or the Falmouth Health Department at (508)495-7485. As always, we strongly recommend that residents use EPA-approved repellents and wear long sleeves and/or pants if tolerable to prevent mosquito bites.
