NEWS BRIEFS>>JUNE 15

Scheduled pesticide spraying

The 314th Civil Engineering Squadron’s pest management section will spray pesticides Monday through June 22 along the banks of the base lakes. The spray pattern will encompass a two to three foot strip of weeds around some of the banks of the lakes, reducing hiding places for snakes. Not all vegetation will be killed, as it prevents bank erosion and provides shelter for smaller fish. The pesticide will not harm fish or pets and any fish caught will still be safe to eat. Contact James Popham at 987-8327 for details.
