Mosquito Control Spray This Evening – Aug 6th

🦟 Mosquito Control Operations This Evening 🦟

The Luzerne Conservation District will be conducting truck-mounted mosquito control operations tonight, Wednesday, August 6, 2025. They’ll be spraying residential and recreational areas to reduce the high mosquito population.

The product being used is Biomist 3+15, which provides quick and effective control of adult mosquitoes. The district assures that the product is low in toxicity and applied in small amounts, so it doesn’t pose a significant risk to people or pets. However, it’s always a good idea to minimize exposure. If you see the spray truck approaching, it’s recommended that you go indoors for a few minutes until the spray has dissipated.

Please note: This operation is weather-dependent. If there are delays, the rain date is scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday, August 7, 2025.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Keith George at 570-674-7991 ext. 6.

“The Luzerne Conservation District (LCD) will be conducting truck mounted ultra-low volume (ULV) mosquito control operations in the following municipalities: Forty Fort Boro, West Wyoming Boro, Wyoming Boro and Exeter Boro, Luzerne County. Residential and recreational areas will be sprayed for adult mosquitoes. The control work will begin in the evening hours on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. High populations of mosquitoes were collected in the affected areas.

The truck mounted ULV spray will be conducted by LCD. The business license for LCD is BU 11113. The mosquito control product being used is Biomist 3+15 (EPA Reg No. 8329-33), and it’s being applied at 0.75 oz per acre. This product is designed to provide quick knockdown and effective control of adult mosquitoes. Mosquito control applications of Biomist 3+15 do not pose a significant risk to people or their pets due to the low toxicity and the small amount used to control mosquitoes. As with any pesticide, people should minimize their exposure. If residents see a spray truck approaching, they are advised to go indoors for a few minutes while the spray dissipates. Biomist 3+15 biodegrades rapidly and doesn’t build up in the environment.

Weather conditions and other unexpected events could delay or cancel this spray operation. Thursday, August 7, 2025 will be used as a rain date or to continue operations if necessary. Please contact Keith George at 570-674-7991 ext. 6 if you have any questions or concerns.”
