Monmouth County will conduct mosquito
control operation in Manasquan on Sept. 18

MANASQUAN, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners has announced that due to the presence of West Nile virus activity in Manasquan, the Monmouth County Office of Mosquito Control will conduct precautionary adult mosquito control operations throughout the entire borough on Friday, Sept. 18, between 3:00-6:00 a.m.

“Monmouth County is continuing to conduct proactive surveillance while employing constant monitoring and applying precision treatments to reduce the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses in our communities,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “The County can provide 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 inspector, please call the Office of Mosquito Control at 732-542-3630.”

In Manasquan, the Office of Mosquito Control will be applying Zenivex 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 Office’s website visitimonmouth.com/mosquito under mosquito schedule and maps.

“Mid-July through September is the peak time for West Nile virus activity,” said Commissioner 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 the presence of mosquitoes by dumping any containers holding water around their property.”
