County Mosquito Spraying Scheduled Mon eve, 6/16/14 in Pt Monmouth

From Middletown Alerts:

In response to extremely high numbers of adult mosquitoes, the Monmouth County Mosquito Commission will be conducting adult mosquito control operations in the Port Monmouth section of Middletown Township on Monday, June 16, 2014 between 7:30 PM and 1:00 AM.

In case of inclement weather conditions, the operation will be postponed to Tuesday, June 17, 2014 between 7:30 PM and 1:00 AM.

Up-to-date information will be posted on the Commission’s website www.visitmonmouth.com/mosquito and on their hotline at 732-578-1600

The Commission will be using the product resmethrin, known as the brand name Scourge, applied with Ultra Low Volume spray equipment mounted on pick-up trucks. Resmethrin is a pyrethroid-based pesticide registered with the USEPA and NJDEP for residential adult mosquito control. The USEPA does not require relocating or taking any special precautions during the mosquito control spraying; however, those who wish to avoid or minimize exposure may take precautions such as staying indoors, keeping windows shut and turning window air conditioners and fans off during the spray operation.
