Dougherty County Public Works officials have been out spraying and monitoring areas that are prone to mosquito growth.

They say the spray that comes from their trucks is harmless.

?The mosquito spray is environmentally safe. Basically you would have to drink it in order for it to be harmful to you because of the small microns that comes out of the sprayer,? says Donell Mathis, Dougherty County Public Works Environmental Control Manager.
