Mosquito Control Spraying
Weather permitting, the Atlantic County Office of Mosquito Control plans to treat parts of Absecon, Linwood and Somers Point, as part of its ongoing effort to control adult mosquitoes.
The area to be treated in Absecon is bounded by Pine St., Shady Ln., N. Shore Rd., W. Church St. and Pitney Rd.
Spraying to reduce adult mosquitoes using ground application equipment will take place on Friday morning, August 30th, between 4:00 am and 6:30 am. Ground spraying will be done using Zenivex E4 RTU, 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, but people may choose to avoid or minimize exposure by:
• Staying indoors during application to their 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.
For health information about the pesticides to be applied to this area, call the Office of Mosquito control at 609-645-5948.
National 811 Day
Today is 8/11 Day, an important reminder to always contact 811 before you dig to keep your community safe and connected to critical utilities. Contacting 811 before any digging project, large or small, is the single easiest step you can take toward reducing the chance of damaging utilities buried underground. Please help us remind others of this crucial step that can mean the difference between life and death. Don’t cut corners if you don’t want to cut power—always contact 811 before you dig this summer and all year round! #811Day
Each year, summer has the highest rate of reported underground utility damages. Every few minutes an underground utility line is damaged because someone neglected to contact 811 before digging, which can lead to expensive repair costs, fines, inconvenient outages, injury and even death. 8/11 Day serves as a timely reminder that contacting 811 is a necessary first step to safety for homeowners and professionals when digging, regardless of the size and scope of the project.
