Mosquito Spraying in Windlestrae Park Area - August 28, 2025
 The Montgomery County Office of Public Health (MCOPH) will be spraying for mosquito control within the highlighted area on Thursday, August 28, 2025 due to positive West Nile Virus mosquito collections within this area. The rain date is Thursday, September 4, 2025. The application will begin at approximately 8:00 p.m. and will end at approximately 11:00 p.m. All spraying will be performed by OPH personnel using an ATV mounted ULV sprayer.
