Monmouth County will conduct mosquito
control operation in Wall Township on Sept. 19

WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners has announced that the Monmouth County Mosquito Control Division will conduct an adult mosquito control operation in Wall Township on Sept. 19 between 4 and 6:30 a.m., weather permitting, due to evidence of West Nile virus in the area.

The treatment area includes residential streets south of Allaire Road, west of Route 35, north of Atlantic Avenue and east of Route 34.

“Monmouth County recognizes the importance of proactive surveillance, precision treatments and constant monitoring to reduce the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses for residents,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “In addition, the County provides inspectors who will visit properties to identify standing water sources that support mosquito larvae. If larvae are found, the inspectors will treat the water or remove the source. To schedule an inspection, please call the Mosquito Control Division at 732-542-3630.”

The Mosquito Control Division will apply Duet using Ultra Low Volume (ULV) sprayers mounted in the bed of a pick-up truck. A map of the areas to be treated and a fact sheet will be posted on the Division’s website visitmonmouth.com/mosquito under mosquito schedule and maps.

“Most West Nile virus activity is report in August and September,” said Commissioner Deputy Director Susan M. Kiley, liaison to the Department of Health and Human Services. “When people are outdoors, they should take precautions such as using repellents or wearing long-sleeve shirts and long pants to avoid mosquito bites. Residents can also reduce mosquitoes by dumping any containers holding water around their property.”
