The Bucks County Department of Health is scheduled to apply mosquito treatment in Middletown Township and Morrisville Borough this Wednesday, August 10.

The treatments will be administered via truck-mounted equipment on Tanglewood Drive in Middletown, as well as the Morrisville Waste Water Treatment Plant, Royal Avenue, Hall Avenue, Ohio Avenue, Western and Manor and parts of West Post Road in Morrisville.

According to officials, the equipment dispenses Duet Dual-Action Adulticide at a rate of 0.75 ounces per acre. The application material has a very low toxicity profile to mammals and will have negligible impact to non-target insects and the environment. County workers are expected to be operating a Chevrolet Colorado spray truck and Ford Ranger pickup during the spray.

Weather conditions or other unexpected events could delay or cancel the spray operation until the following day.
