Description
The Allegheny County Health Department’s Mosquito-Borne Disease Control Program (BU 1224) will be conducting a truck-mounted, Ultra Low Volume (ULV) spray event on Wednesday August 7th, between 8pm and 11pm to decrease mosquito populations and reduce the risk of West Nile virus (WNV) transmission. In case of inclement weather, the rain date will be Thursday August 8th.
Areas of focus will be the city neighborhoods of Crafton Heights, Chartiers, Corliss, Elliott, Esplen, and Sheraden, as well as the boroughs of Crafton and Ingram. Recent mosquito samples collected in and around these areas have tested positive for WNV.
The pesticide being applied is Zenivex E20 and is designed to provide quick, effective control of adult mosquito populations. Zenivex has a very low toxicity profile to mammals and has negligible impact on non-target insects and the environment. It will be released at just 0.6 ounces per acre. The SDS sheet and label for Zenivex E20 are attached to this email along with the PEMA notification form.
