In an effort to protect our kids from mosquito-borne Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), EPYSA has hired Guardian Pest Control to treat the fields at Hull Street and along the highway where exposure to mosquitos is the highest. 

While spraying is effective, it does not always eliminate the risk. We ask that all parents are proactive in preventing EEE by using bug spray and having their children wear long sleeves and pants.

For more information on how to protect yourself from EEE and reduce breeding grounds for mosquitoes, please visit the Rhode Island Department of Health website at  http://www.health.ri.gov/disease/carriers/mosquitoes/.
