BEAVER COUNTY, Pa. — Mosquito samples from several communities in Beaver County have tested positive for West Nile Virus.
The Borough of Ambridge’s Facebook page said the Beaver County Conservation District’s Mosquito-Borne Disease Control Program will be conducting a truck-mounted, Ultra Low Volume (ULV) spray event Thursday evening.
Crews will be spraying in the following towns between 8:15 to 11 p.m.:
- Ambridge
- Aliquippa
- West Aliquippa
The pesticide being applied is Aqua Duet and is designed to provide quick, effective control of adult mosquito populations. Aqua Duet has a very low toxicity profile to mammals and has negligible impact on non-target insects and the environment.
Anyone with questions is asked to call Phoebe Prince at the Beaver County Conservation District at 724-378-1071 ext. 222.
