In Cumberland County, officials are fighting back.
They started spraying for mosquitoes Sunday night and will do so through Wednesday. The county allocated $90,000 toward the effort.
"Two trucks will spray the entire county over a three day period. All depends on the weather conditions," said Cumberland County Environmental Health Specialist Tom Turturro. "They will stay in the air suspended from a half hour to two hours."
