Rescheduled mosquito spray advisory for Tuesday morning, September 10th between 4:30 am and 5:30 am.

The ground mosquito spray that was scheduled this morning was canceled due to the temperature being below product specifications.

Weather permitting, the Atlantic County Office of Mosquito Control plans to treat parts of Hammonton as part of its ongoing effort to control adult mosquitoes and mosquito-borne disease activity. The area to be treated (see map) is bounded by North 1st Rd., Route 54, Fourth St. and Pleasant St., Grand St. and Wilbur Ave.

Spraying to reduce adult mosquitoes using ground application equipment will take place on Tuesday morning, September 10th, between 4:30 am and 5:30 am. Ground spraying will be done using Zenivex, the trade name for etofenprox, applied as an ultra-low volume aerosol.

The EPA does not require relocating or taking special precautions during mosquito control spraying, people may choose to avoid or minimize exposure by:

* Staying indoors during application to immediate area
* Keeping windows shut, window fans and air conditioners off (or set to circulate indoor air) during spraying
* Keeping children’s toys indoors
* Keeping pets indoors, as well as their food, water dishes and toys.
