Westerly will spray for mosquitoes next week NBC 10 NEWS The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management said Westerly will spray for mosquitoes next week. The town will use a helicopter to spray mosquito larvicide across 500 acres of Chapman Swamp and nearby swamplands on Tuesday, weather permitting. The spraying will take place between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. The DEM said Bti will be used to control mosquito breeding. Officials said Bti is naturally occurring and poses no risk to people. The spraying is done to control mosquito populations that might spread eastern equine encephalitis or West Nile Virus. Officials say people should take precautions against mosquito bites between dusk and dawn by wearing long sleeves and pants and using insect repellent.
