HANOVER—The Morris County Mosquito Commission will conduct aerial mosquito control operations in Hanover Township on Monday, May 19, and Tuesday, May 20, between 7:00 a.m. and completion each day.
The aerial spraying, coordinated with the New Jersey State Mosquito Control Commission and the NJ Office of Mosquito Control Coordination, will focus on treating floodplain areas to control mosquito larvae before they become flying adults.
Crews will apply VectoPrime FG, a fine granular larvicide (EPA Registration #73049-501), over areas of standing water. The treatment targets the aquatic stages of mosquito development and will not affect adult mosquitoes currently in flight.
Residents can visit the manufacturer’s website or contact the Mosquito Commission for more information on VectoPrime FG.
The operation is part of an ongoing effort to reduce mosquito populations and protect public health during the warmer months.
