The Lancaster County West Nile Virus (WNV) – Mosquito Control Program will be conducting an ATV mounted Ultra Low Volume (ULV)
Mosquito control operation in Lancaster Township, Lancaster County. High populations of mosquitoes that have positive for WNV have been detected in the vicinity of residential communities near the intersection of Schoolhouse Road and Millersville Pike.
Weather permitting, the control work will take place late Monday evening, July 12, 2010. Should inclement weather prevail or other unforeseen circumstances occur, the event will happen Tuesday evening, July 13, 2010.
As Coordinator of the program I will be on-site for the application, operating under Business Unit #BU4451. To provide effective control of adult mosquitoes via quick knockdown, Biomist 3+15 will be applied at a rate of 0.75 ounces per acre (please see attached MSDS). This is a low residual adulticide which will be gone by sun-up.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Respectfully submitted,
Matt Mercer
