Mosquito control underway this week
The McKean County Mosquito Control Program will be conducting a truck mounted ultra-low volume (ULV) mosquito control operation in residential and recreational areas in Annin, Liberty, Keating and Eldred townships and Eldred Borough on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, weather permitting.
High populations of adult nuisance mosquitoes have been detected in the areas through surveillance efforts.
The truck mounted ULV spray will be conducted by McKean Environmental Solutions LLC in cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The business license is 13152. The product used will be Anvil 10+10 at a rate of 0.62oz/acre. These products are designed to provide quick knockdown and effective control of adult mosquitoes.
Weather conditions, surveillance data, and other unexpected events could delay or cancel this spray operation. If this operation is cancelled due to weather conditions, it will be rescheduled for Monday. Call Heather McKean at (814) 598-3652 with any questions or concerns.
