In preparation for the holiday weekend, Greene County Public Health will spray adulticide for mosquitos Wednesday night throughout the county.

Mosquito fogging will take place between 9 p.m. and midnight. It will start shortly before sundown and continue while temperatures remain above 60 degrees, according to Public Health. The fogging aims to reduce the mosquito population, as well as the risk for West Nile virus.
