The Department of Environmental Protection will conduct a mosquito control operation to reduce high populations of nuisance mosquitoes on July 16 in parts of Monroe Township, Snyder County.
The treatments will be administered via truck-mounted equipment, spraying residential and recreational mosquito habitat. The equipment dispenses Biomist 3+15 ULV at a rate of 0.75 ounces per acre.
These products are designed to provide quick, effective control of adult mosquito populations. The application materials have a very low toxicity profile to mammals and are safe for the environment.
So far in 2015, West Nile virus has been detected in Adams, Allegheny, Berks, Blair, Bucks, Cambria, Centre, Chester, Dauphin, Delaware, Lancaster, Lebanon, Lehigh, Lycoming, Montgomery, and York counties.
