There will be some road closure this morning in Pelham.

The town is doing its first Gypsy Moth spray and traffic could be held up for a short time when the helicopter is in the area.

Roads could be temporarily barricaded along Highway 20, Haist Street, Canboro Road and Pancake Lane.

Residents are encouraged to have windows and doors closed and to stay inside during the spray.

Walkers, runners and cyclists are also encouraged to avoid the spray areas this morning.

The spraying is likely to be complete by 9:00 a.m.

The second application will come within a week to 10 days, weather depending.
