Reason for Spray
High counts of mosquitoes capable of transmitting West Nile Virus have been collected in the aforementioned areas. The roads listed above are intended to be references for the residents in the area. Please note that roads and areas close to the above listed may also be affected.
Should the weather or other unexpected events occur to prevent or delay the start of the spray, the operation will be rescheduled for August 13th, 2024.
Who is Spraying and What is Being Sprayed?
The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will be onsite for the operation. This operation will be conducted by York County’s Mosquito and Tick-Borne Disease Control Program (Business License BU8376 and 5976). The product that will be used is Clarke® AquaDUET®. AquaDUET® is a water-based product designed to effectively control and eliminate large populations of adult mosquitoes. We perform these sprays at night to avoid contact with non-target insects such as bees and butterflies.
The product will be applied at a rate of 0.75 oz per acre which is the equivalent of a shot glass over a football field. The product is designed to come into contact with flying mosquitoes and therefore has no residual as it breaks down within 20 minutes after application.
Additional information
Residents should protect themselves from mosquito bites by wearing or implementing some form of repellent and wearing long sleeves and pants when outside. Additionally, some biting mosquito species prefer to lay eggs in artificial containers such as:
• Buckets
• Tarps
• Tires
• Clogged gutters
• Ice coolers left outside
• Appliances left outside
• Bottle caps
• Food takeout containers
For more information, please feel free to reach out to the York County Mosquito and Tick-Borne Disease Control Administrator Jeraldy Rodriguez at (717) 840-2375 or JRodriguez@yorkcountypa.gov
