Scotland County commissioners have now stepped up to the plate to address the mosquito plague affecting our county. Budgetary constraints make it impossible to cover the entire county so only the areas most populated will be treated. Spraying is scheduled to commence next week.
<blockquote><em>"Next week a bug spray truck may come to your neighborhood, invited by Scotland County commissioners who held a second meeting this month to discuss to pressing problem of mosquitoes.</em>

<em>The county was given $54,000 from the state to deal with the pesky biters, but estimates seemed to exceed that amount — until County Health Director Kristen Patterson reported to the board she had found a company, Mosquito Authority, that fits the budget.</em>

<em>Aerial sprays started over budget at $70,000, so the board voted to approve the spray by truck route, which will be $6,282 per treatment, including lodging for the workers. The county plans to pay for five treatments after [Hurricane Michael] passes, which will be over a time span of five weeks."</em> <a href="https://www.laurinburgexchange.com/news/18918/countyto-startspraying" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Read more...</span></a></blockquote>
