Sunday, Aug. 6, 2017 — The City of Bardstown’s mosquito spraying program’s spraying operation is scheduled to take place overnight Wednesday, August 9th. Spraying operations will continue on the schedule below for the rest of the summer until the first frost.

The City’s tentative Wednesday evenings for future mosquito spraying operations include:

The spraying operations take place from about 9:45 p.m. until daybreak. In the event of rain or high winds, spraying operations will be delayed until the next evening.

During fogging operations, please keep children away from the fogging vehicle, go inside and remain indoors while the fogging vehicle is in your neighborhood.
