Resident asks whether Millersville sprays for West Nile; borough says county testing is reactive

A Millersville resident raised concerns about mosquito bites and whether the borough conducts preventative West Nile spraying. Richard France, who said he lives at 55 North Duke Street, told council he has been bitten repeatedly and asked whether Millersville is spraying as nearby municipalities do. Rebecca, the borough manager, said Lancaster County municipalities participate in a county mosquito‑control board that conducts testing in borough neighborhoods and issues periodic results. She said, to date, no West Nile virus has been found in Millersville, and that spraying would be undertaken by the county in areas where positive tests are detected; the county notifies municipalities when spraying is required. Rebecca characterized the county program as reactive — testing first and spraying only if virus is detected — rather than routinely spraying preemptively. The resident thanked council; no further action or motion was taken.
