The City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board (NOMTRCB) will conduct area-wide spray missions tomorrow morning, Friday, July 11, 2025, targeting larval populations of mosquitoes. Treatments will be conducted by helicopter between the hours of 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. weather permitting. The purpose of these treatments is to target standing water where mosquitoes lay their eggs and kill their larvae before they become adults. The chemical that is being used is bacterial-derived larvicide that is naturally occurring in soil. This treatment produces crystalline proteins that are toxic to the aquatic stages of mosquitos and other flies when it is ingested. These treatments are highly specific to mosquitoes and other flies, and are non-toxic for other non-target organisms including humans, dogs, bees, etc. Treatments will be conducted in the following areas:
New Orleans Police are asking the public's assistance with identifying and locating a suspect wanted for vehicle burglary and illegal possession of stolen property.
The City of New Orleans Mosquito, Termite and Rodent Control Board (NOMTRCB) reports that mosquitoes collected in traps this week from both the East Bank and West Bank of Orleans Parish tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV). WNV cycles between wild birds and mosquitoes and can be transmitted to humans and animals by the bite of an infected mosquito. No human cases have been reported in Orleans Parish this year, however, there have been confirmed human cases in the state. NOMTRCB will conduct adulticide spray missions tonight by truck to target our primary vector of WNV, Culex quinquefasciatus, and break the disease cycle. Treatments will be conducted between the hours of 8:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., weather permitting, in the following areas:
New Orleans Police are asking the public's assistance with identifying and locating a suspect wanted for illegal use of a weapon.
